Psalms 114

1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?

The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5 What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O 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 start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:

At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8 Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.

Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
