Psalms 114

1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

3 The sea has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns backward.

The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

5 What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!

What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!

Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
