Psalm 114
1When Israel came out of Egypt—
when the house of Jacob came out
from a people who spoke a different language—
2Judah was God’s sanctuary;
Israel was God’s territory.
3The sea saw it happen and ran away;
the Jordan River retreated!
4The mountains leaped away like rams;
the hills leaped away like lambs!
5Sea, why did you run away?
Jordan, why did you retreat?
6Mountains, why did you leap away like rams?
Hills, why did you leap away like lambs?
7Earth: Tremble before the Lord!
Tremble before the God of Jacob,
8the one who turned that rock into a pool of water,
that flint stone into a spring 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.
