< 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 people of a foreign language;
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:
Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
3 The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;
The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?
The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.
5 What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?
What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven 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 little hills, like lambs?
7 Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the LORD, 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] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
