Psalms 114

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

²Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;

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

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

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

⁷Tremble, O earth, 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.
