Psalm 114

PSALM 114

When Israel Went Out from Egypt

¹When Israel went out ^afrom Egypt,

The house of Jacob from a people of ^bstrange language,

²Judah became ^aHis sanctuary,

Israel, ^bHis dominion.

³The ^asea looked and fled;

The ^bJordan turned back.

⁴The mountains ^askipped like rams,

The hills, like lambs.

⁵What ^adisturbs you, O sea, that you flee?

O Jordan, that you turn back?

⁶O mountains, that you skip like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

^7aTremble, O earth, before the Lord,

Before the God of Jacob,

⁸Who ^aturned the rock into a ^bpool of water,

The ^cflint into a spring of water.
