Praise to God for His Works During the Exodus

114 When Israel went out from Egypt,

the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language,

2 Judah became his sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

3 The sea looked and fled;

the Jordan turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like ⌊lambs⌋.a

5 What’s with you, O sea, that you fled?

O Jordan, that you turned back?

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

7 At the presence of the Lord writhe, O earth,b

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who turned the rock into a pool of water,

flinty stone into a spring of water.
