Psalms 114

1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

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

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

2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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