Chapter 114 :

God’s Wonders at the Exodus

1 When Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 Judah became God’s sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.

3 The sea looked and fled;
Jordan turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.

5 Why is it, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?

6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the LORD,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who turns the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water.
