Psalms 114

1When Israel went 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;

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

2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back;

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

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

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

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

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

5 What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back?

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!

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs?

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!

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of theGod of Jacob,

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,

8 Who 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.

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