Psalms 114

1 When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

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

2 Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.

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

3 The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.

The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.

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

The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?

Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, O 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 standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!

Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
