Psalms 114

1 When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

1 以色列人离开埃及， 雅各家从异族出来时，

2 Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

2 犹大成为上帝的圣所， 以色列成为祂的国度。

3 The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

3 大海看见他们就奔逃， 约旦河也倒流。

4 the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

4 大山如公羊一般跳跃， 小山像羊羔一样蹦跳。

5 Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

5 大海啊，你为何奔逃？ 约旦河啊，你为何倒流？

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

6 大山啊，你为何如公羊一般跳跃？ 小山啊，你为何像羊羔一样蹦跳？

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

7 大地啊，你要在主面前， 在雅各的上帝面前颤抖，

8 who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!

8 因为祂使磐石变成水池， 使岩石涌出泉水。
