< 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.
