Psalms 114

1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

The sea has seen, and flees, The Jordan turns backward.

4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

5 What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!

6 O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!

He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
