Psalm 114
1The people of Israel came out of Egypt.
The people of Jacob left a land where a different language was spoken.
2Then Judah became the holy place where God lived.
Israel became the land he ruled over.
3The Red Sea saw him and parted.
The Jordan River stopped flowing.
4The mountains leaped like rams.
The hills skipped like lambs.
5Red Sea, why did you part?
Jordan River, why did you stop flowing?
6Why did you mountains leap like rams?
Why did you hills skip like lambs?
7Earth, tremble with fear when the Lord comes.
Tremble when the God of Jacob is near.
8He turned the rock into a pool.
He turned the hard rock into springs of water.

Ex 12.51
When the people of Israel left Egypt,
when Jacob's descendants left that foreign land,
2Judah became the Lord's holy people,
Israel became his own possession.

Ex 14.21; Josh 3.16 The Red Sea looked and ran away;
the River Jordan stopped flowing.
4The mountains skipped like goats;
the hills jumped about like lambs.
5What happened, Sea, to make you run away?
And you, O Jordan, why did you stop flowing?
6You mountains, why did you skip like goats?
You hills, why did you jump about like lambs?
7Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,

Ex 17.1–7; Num 20.2–13 who changes rocks into pools of water
and solid cliffs into flowing springs.
