Psalms 114

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

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

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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