Psalms 114
114
1When Israel went forth out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
3The sea saw it, and fled;
Jordan was driven back.
4The mountains skipped like rams,
The little hills like young sheep.
5What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest?
Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?
6Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams;
Ye little hills, like young sheep?
7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob;
8Which turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of waters.

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.
