< Psalms 114 >

1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The sea has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns backward.
The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back;
4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5 What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!
What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back?
6 O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs?
7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
Tremble, thou earth, 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 a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
