Psalms 114

Listen (KJV)

1When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

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

5What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

6Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?

7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

8Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
