Psalm 114

GOD’S DELIVERANCE OF ISRAEL

¹When Israel came out of Egypt—

the house of Jacob from a people

who spoke a foreign language^ao—

²Judah became his sanctuary,

Israel, his dominion.^ap

³The sea looked and fled;^a

the Jordan turned back.^b

⁴The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills, like lambs.^c

⁵Why was it, sea, that you fled?

Jordan, that you turned back?^d

⁶Mountains, that you skipped like rams?

Hills, like lambs?^e

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

at the presence of the God of Jacob,^f

⁸who turned the rock into a pool,

the flint into a spring.^g
