114:1 |
When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, |
114:2 |
Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion. |
114:3 |
The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back; |
114:4 |
the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. |
114:5 |
Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back, |
114:6 |
you mountains, that you skipped like rams, you hills, like lambs? |
114:7 |
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, |
114:8 |
who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water. |
