Psalm 114

1When Israel left Egypt,

when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,

2Judah became his sanctuary,

Israel his kingdom.

3The sea looked and fled;

the Jordan River turned back.

4The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs.

5Why do you flee, O sea?

Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?

6Why do you skip like rams, O mountains,

like lambs, O hills?

7Tremble, O earth, before the Lord –

before the God of Jacob,

8who turned a rock into a pool of water,

a hard rock into springs of water!
