Psalms

Chapter 114

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

2 Judah became his sanctuary , Israel his dominion .

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

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

5 What was it , you sea , that you fled ? You Jordan , that you turned back ?

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

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

8 who turned the rock into a pool of water , the flint into a spring of waters .
