1The 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.
Psalm 114
English Standard Version
Tremble at the Presence of the Lord
1When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, (Ge 42:23; Ex 12:37; Ps 81:5)2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. (Ex 15:17; Ex 25:8; Ps 78:68)3The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back. (Jos 3:13; Ps 77:16)4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. (Ex 19:18; Ps 18:7; Ps 29:6)5What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back? (Hab 3:8)6O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, (Ps 96:9)8who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water. (Nu 20:11; De 8:15; Ps 78:15; Ps 107:35)
