Psalms 114

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

1When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

2Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

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

3The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

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

4The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

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

5What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

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

6You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

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

7Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

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

8Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
