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 foreign language,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tremble, you 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 pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
