Psalms 114

1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language;

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 saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

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

5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

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

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?

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

7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

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

8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

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