Psalm 114

Psalm 114

1 When Israel came out of Egypt,c

Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 Judahd became God’s sanctuary,e

Israel his dominion.

3 The sea looked and fled,f

the Jordan turned back;g

4 the mountains leapedh like rams,

the hills like lambs.

5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?i

Why, Jordan, did you turn back?

6 Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,

you hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, earth,j 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.k
