Psalm 113:9–114:6

⁹He gives the barren woman a home,

making her the joyous mother of children.

Praise the Lord!^*

Psalm 114

God’s Wonders at the Exodus

^1bWhen Israel went out from Egypt,

the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,^*

²Judah became God’s^c sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.^*

³The sea looked and fled;

Jordan turned back.^*

⁴The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs.^*

⁵Why is it, O sea, that you flee?

O Jordan, that you turn back?

⁶O mountains, that you skip like rams?

O hills, like lambs?
