Psalms, 114

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

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

2. Judah became his sanctuary, and Israel his domain.

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

3. The sea fled at the sight, the Jordan turned back,

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

4. the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like sheep.

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

5. Sea, what makes you flee? Jordan, why turn back?

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

6. Why skip like rams, you mountains? Why like sheep, you hills?

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

7. Tremble, earth, at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the God of Jacob,

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

8. who turns rock into pool, flint into fountain.

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