Psalms 114

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

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

The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tremble, thou earth, 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 a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
