Psalm 114

Psalm 114

 ¹ When Israel came out of Egypt,
       the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
 ² Judah became God's sanctuary,
       Israel his dominion.
 ³ The sea looked and fled,
       the Jordan turned back;
 ⁴ the mountains skipped like rams,
       the hills like lambs.
 ⁵ Why was it, O sea, that you fled,
       O Jordan, that you turned back,
 ⁶ you mountains, that you skipped like rams,
       you hills, like lambs?
 ⁷ Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
       at the presence of the God of Jacob,
 ⁸ who turned the rock into a pool,
       the hard rock into springs of water.
