Psalm 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.
