< Psalms 114 >
1 When went out Israel from Egypt [the] house of Jacob from a people speaking a foreign language.
When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2 It became Judah sanctuary his Israel dominion his.
Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.
3 The sea it saw and it fled the Jordan it turned around to backwards.
The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;
4 The mountains they skipped about like rams hills like young ones of sheep.
the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5 What? [is] to you O sea that you will flee O Jordan you will turn around to backwards.
Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,
6 O mountains you will skip about like rams O hills like young ones of sheep.
O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?
7 From to before [the] lord tremble O earth from to before [the] God of Jacob.
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Who turned the rock a pool of water flint into spring of his water.
who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
