< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a foreign language;
Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
2 Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power.
3 The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.
The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep.
5 What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?
What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?
6 Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs?
What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob.
8 Who turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
He converted the rock into pools of water, and the cliff into fountains of waters.
