Psalms 114

  1. 1

    When Israel left Egypt, when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,

  2. 2

    Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.

  3. 3

    The sea looked and fled; the Jordan River turned back.

  4. 4

    The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

  5. 5

    Why do you flee, O sea? Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?

  6. 6

    Why do you skip like rams, O mountains, like lambs, O hills?

  7. 7

    Tremble, O earth, before the Lord— before the God of Jacob,

  8. 8

    who turned a rock into a pool of water, a hard rock into springs of water.
