Psalms 114JPS 1917 · English▾

1When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

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

4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

5What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?

6Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?

7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

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