Psalms 114

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

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

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, 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 a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
