Psalms 114
114
God’s Deliverance of Israel
1When Israel came out of Egypt —
the house of Jacob from a people
who spoke a foreign language # Ex 13:3; Ps 81:5 —
2Judah became His sanctuary,
Israel, His dominion. # Ex 15:17; Ps 78:68-69
3The sea looked and fled; # Ex 14:21; Ps 77:16
the Jordan turned back. # Jos 3:13-16
4The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills, like lambs. # Ex 19:18; Ps 29:6
5Why was it, sea, that you fled?
Jordan, that you turned back? # Hab 3:8
6Mountains, that you skipped like rams?
Hills, like lambs? # Hab 3:10
7Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob, # Ps 96:9
8who turned the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water. # Ex 17:6; Nm 20:11; Dt 8:15

Psalms 114
114
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.
