Psalms 114
114
1-8After Israel left Egypt,
the clan of Jacob left those barbarians behind;
Judah became holy land for him,
Israel the place of holy rule.
Sea took one look and ran the other way;
River Jordan turned around and ran off.
The mountains turned playful and skipped like rams,
the hills frolicked like spring lambs.
What’s wrong with you, Sea, that you ran away?
and you, River Jordan, that you turned and ran off?
And mountains, why did you skip like rams?
and you, hills, frolic like spring lambs?
Tremble, Earth! You’re in the Lord’s presence!
in the presence of Jacob’s God.
He turned the rock into a pool of cool water,
turned flint into fresh spring water.

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
