< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a foreign language;
When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2 Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.
3 The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;
4 The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.
the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5 What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?
Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,
6 Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs?
O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of 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 [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
