Psalm 114

God’s Deliverance of Israel

When Israel came out of Egypt—
the house of Jacob from a people
who spoke a foreign language(A)
Judah became His sanctuary,
Israel, His dominion.(B)

The sea looked and fled;(C)
the Jordan turned back.(D)
The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills, like lambs.(E)
Why was it, sea, that you fled?
Jordan, that you turned back?(F)
Mountains, that you skipped like rams?
Hills, like lambs?(G)

Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,(H)
who turned the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water.(I)

Psalm 114

When Israel came out of Egypt,(A)
    Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
Judah(B) became God’s sanctuary,(C)
    Israel his dominion.

The sea looked and fled,(D)
    the Jordan turned back;(E)
the mountains leaped(F) like rams,
    the hills like lambs.

Why was it, sea, that you fled?(G)
    Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,
    you hills, like lambs?

Tremble, earth,(H) at the presence of the Lord,
    at the presence of the God of Jacob,
who turned the rock into a pool,
    the hard rock into springs of water.(I)
