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.

Psalms 114
114
1When the Israelites escaped from Egypt—
when the family of Jacob left that foreign land—
2the land of Judah became God’s sanctuary,
and Israel became his kingdom.
3The Red Sea#114:3 Hebrew the sea; also in 114:5. saw them coming and hurried out of their way!
The water of the Jordan River turned away.
4The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs!
5What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way?
What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?
6Why, mountains, did you skip like rams?
Why, hills, like lambs?
7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob.
8He turned the rock into a pool of water;
yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock.
