Psalms 114

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

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

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

2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

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

3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

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

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

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

5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

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

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

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

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

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

8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
