Psalms 114 - New International Version, 1984
Psalm 114
When Israel came out of Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
When Israel came out of Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
Judah became God’s sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
Israel his dominion.
The sea looked and fled,
the Jordan turned back;
the Jordan turned back;
the mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.
the hills like lambs.
Why was it, O sea, that you fled,
O Jordan, that you turned back,
O Jordan, that you turned back,
you mountains, that you skipped like rams,
you hills, like lambs?
you hills, like lambs?
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
who turned the rock into a pool,
the hard rock into springs of water.
the hard rock into springs of water.
