Psalms 114

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

1In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

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

2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

3The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

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

4The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

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

5What--to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

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

6O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

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

7From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

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

8He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
