Psalms 114

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

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judah became 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 backward.

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

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

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

What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

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.
