Psalm 114

Names of God Bible

¹ When Israel left Egypt,
    when Jacob’s family left people who spoke a foreign language,
² Judah became his holy place and Israel became his kingdom.
³     The Red Sea looked at this and ran away.
        The Jordan River turned back.
⁴             The mountains jumped like rams.
            The hills jumped like lambs.
⁵         Red Sea, why did you run away?
        Jordan River, what made you turn back?
⁶             Mountains, what made you jump like rams?
            Hills, what made you jump like lambs?
⁷ Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord,
    in the presence of the Elohim of Jacob.
⁸         He turns a rock into a pool filled with water
            and turns flint into a spring flowing with water.
