Psalms 114

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

In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

The sea has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns backward.

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

The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

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

What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!

6 Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?

O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

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

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

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

He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
