Psalm 114
God’s Deliverance of Israel
1When Israel came out of Egypt —
the house of Jacob from a people
who spoke a foreign language#Ex 13:3; Ps 81:5 —
2Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel, his dominion.#Ex 15:17; Ps 78:68–69
3The sea looked and fled;#Ex 14:21; Ps 77:16
the Jordan turned back.#Jos 3:13–16
4The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills, like lambs.#Ex 19:18; Ps 29:6
5Why was it, sea, that you fled?
Jordan, that you turned back?#Hab 3:8
6Mountains, that you skipped like rams?
Hills, like lambs?#Hab 3:10
7Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,#Ps 96:9
8who turned the rock into a pool,
the flint into a spring.#Ex 17:6; Nm 20:11; Dt 8:15

Psalms 114
114
The LORD works wonders
1God brought his people#Ex 12.51.
out of Egypt, that land
with a strange language.
2He made Judah his holy place
and ruled over Israel.
3When the sea looked at God,#Ex 14.21; Js 3.16.
it ran away,
and the River Jordan
flowed upstream.
4The mountains and the hills
skipped around like goats.
5Ask the sea why it ran away
or ask the Jordan
why it flowed upstream.
6Ask the mountains and the hills
why they skipped like goats!
7Earth, you will tremble,
when the Lord God of Jacob
comes near,
8because he turns solid rock#Ex 17.1-7; Nu 20.2-13.
into flowing streams
and pools of water.
