Psalm 114
1When Israel left Egypt,
when Jacob’s family left people who spoke a foreign language,
2Judah became his holy place and Israel became his kingdom.
3The Red Sea looked at this and ran away.
The Jordan River turned back.
4The mountains jumped like rams.
The hills jumped like lambs.
5Red Sea, why did you run away?
Jordan River, what made you turn back?
6Mountains, what made you jump like rams?
Hills, what made you jump like lambs?
7Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord,
in the presence of the God of Jacob.
8He turns a rock into a pool filled with water
and turns flint into a spring flowing with water.

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.
