Psalms 114
114
1The people of Israel escaped from Egypt.
Yes, Jacob’s descendants left that foreign country.
2Then Judah became God’s special people,
and Israel became his kingdom.
3The Red Sea saw this and ran away.
The Jordan River turned and ran.
4The mountains danced like rams.
The hills danced like lambs.
5Red Sea, why did you run away?
Jordan River, why did you turn and run away?
6Mountains, why did you dance like rams?
Hills, why did you dance like lambs?
7The earth shook in front of the Lord,
the God of Jacob.
8He is the one who caused water to flow from a rock.
He made a spring of water flow from that hard rock.

A Passover Song
1 #
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.
3 #
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,
8 #
Ex 17.1–7; Num 20.2–13 who changes rocks into pools of water
and solid cliffs into flowing springs.
