Psalm 114

Psalm 114

¹When Israel came out of Egypt,^c

Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

²Judah^d became God’s sanctuary,^e

Israel his dominion.

³The sea looked and fled,^f

the Jordan turned back;^g

⁴the mountains leaped^h like rams,

the hills like lambs.

⁵Why was it, sea, that you fled?ⁱ

Why, Jordan, did you turn back?

⁶Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,

you hills, like lambs?

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

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁸who turned the rock into a pool,

the hard rock into springs of water.^k
