Psalms — Chapter 114
1
When Israel went forth from Egypt,the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech,
2
Judah became God’s holy one,aholy one Or “sanctuary.” Israel, God’s dominion.
3
The sea saw them and fled,Jordan ran backward,
4
mountains skipped like rams,hills like sheep.
5
What alarmed you, O sea, that you fled,Jordan, that you ran backward,
6
mountains, that you skipped like rams,hills, like sheep?
7
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Sovereign,at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8
who turned the rock into a pool of water,the flinty rock into a fountain.
