Psalms 114

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

When Israel came forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.

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

The sea beheld, and fled; The Jordan turned back.

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

The mountains skipped like rams, And the hills like lambs.

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

What aileth thee, O thou sea! that thou fleest? Thou, Jordan, that thou runnest back?

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, And ye hills like lambs?

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

Tremble, O earth! at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob;

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

Who turned the rock into a standing lake, And the flint into a fountain of water!
