Psalm 114

 

 

1                    When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

 

2                    Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

 

3                    The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;

 

4                    the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

 

5                    Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

 

6                    you mountains, that you skipped like rams, you hills, like lambs?

 

7                    Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

 

8                    who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
