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 barbarous people:

2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judea made his sanctuary, 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 the lambs of the flock.

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

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

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

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, 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 stony hill into fountains of waters.
