Psalm 114

GOD’S DELIVERANCE OF ISRAEL

1 When Israel came out of Egypt—

the house of Jacob from a people

who spoke a foreign languageao—

2 Judah became his sanctuary,

Israel, his dominion.ap

3 The sea looked and fled;a

the Jordan turned back.b

4 The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills, like lambs.c

5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?

Jordan, that you turned back?d

6 Mountains, that you skipped like rams?

Hills, like lambs?e

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

at the presence of the God of Jacob,f

8 who turned the rock into a pool,

the flint into a spring.g
