Psalms 114

¹When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

²Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;

⁴the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs.

⁵Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back?

⁶Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs?

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

⁸who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
