< Psalms 114 >
1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,
2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.
The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.
4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.
5 What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!
What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?
6 O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?
7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,
8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
