Psalms 114
God’s Wonders at the Exodus
1
When Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2
Judah became God’s sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
3
The sea looked and fled;
Jordan turned back.
4
The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.
5
Why is it, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
6
O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?
7
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the LORD,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8
who turns the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water.
