1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;2Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.3The sea saw it , and fled: Jordan was driven back.4The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.5What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;8Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Psalm 114
New International Reader’s Version
from Biblica1The people of Israel came out of Egypt. The people of Jacob left a land where a different language was spoken.2Then Judah became the holy place where God lived. Israel became the land he ruled over.3The Red Sea saw him and parted. The River Jordan stopped flowing.4The mountains leaped like rams. The hills skipped like lambs.5Red Sea, why did you part? River Jordan, why did you stop flowing?6Why did you mountains leap like rams? Why did you hills skip like lambs?7Earth, tremble with fear when the Lord comes. Tremble when the God of Jacob is near.8He turned the rock into a pool. He turned the hard rock into springs of water.
