Psalms 114

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a foreign language;

Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

Judea became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

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

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

5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

What [ailed] you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

[You] mountains, that you skipped like rams, and [you] hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 Who turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
