Psalms 114

Praise to God for His Works During the Exodus

1 When Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language,
2 Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
3 The sea looked and fled;
the Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like ⌞lambs⌟. ^{▼▼Literally “sons of the flock”}
5 What’s with you, O sea, that you fled?
O Jordan, that you turned back?
6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams?
O hills, like lambs?
7 At the presence of the Lord writhe, O earth, ^{▼▼Or “O land”}
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water,
flinty stone into a spring of water.
