Psalms 114
114
1When Israel went forth from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
3The sea looked and fled,
Jordan turned back.
4The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.
5What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
6O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?
7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8who turns the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water.

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.
