Psalm 114 | New International Reader’s Version

1 The people of Israel came out of Egypt. The people of Jacob left a land where a different language was spoken. 2 Then Judah became the holy place where God lived. Israel became the land he ruled over. 3 The Red Sea saw him and parted. The River Jordan stopped flowing. 4 The mountains leaped like rams. The hills skipped like lambs. 5 Red Sea, why did you part? River Jordan, why did you stop flowing? 6 Why did you mountains leap like rams? Why did you hills skip like lambs? 7 Earth, tremble with fear when the Lord comes. Tremble when the God of Jacob is near. 8 He turned the rock into a pool. He turned the hard rock into springs of water.
