Psalm 114

Psalm 114

¹When Israel went forth out of Egypt,

The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

²Judah became his sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

³The sea saw it, and fled;

The Jordan was driven back.

⁴The mountains skipped like rams,

The little hills like lambs.

⁵What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest?

Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

⁶Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams;

Ye little hills, like lambs?

⁷Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁸Who turned the rock into a pool of water,

The flint into a fountain of waters.
