Psalms 114

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

Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

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

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

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

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.

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

What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

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

[You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?

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

The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

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

who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
