< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back.
The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like young sheep.
The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.
5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?
What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye little hills, like young sheep?
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:
8 Which turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
