Psalms, 114

1. When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

1. Alleluia! When Israel came out of Egypt, the family of Jacob from a people of foreign language,

2. Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

2. Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his possession.

3. The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.

3. At his sight the sea fled and the Jordan retreated;

4. The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.

4. the mountains skipped like rams, the hills frolicked like lambs.

5. What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?

5. Why is it, sea, that you flee? Jordan, that you turn back?

6. Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little hills, like lambs?

6. Mountains, that you skip like rams? Hills, that you frolic like lambs?

7. Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

7. Tremble, O earth, at your Master's presence, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8. Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

8. who turned the rock into a stream, and the flint into a spring.
