Psalms 114

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

When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language:

2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

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

The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

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

The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

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

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

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

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

At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, 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 changeth the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.
