114:1 When Israel left Egypt, when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,

114:2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.

114:3 The sea looked and fled; the Jordan River turned back.

114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

114:5 Why do you flee, O sea? Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?

114:6 Why do you skip like rams, O mountains, like lambs, O hills?

114:7 Tremble, O earth, before the sovereign Master — before the God of Jacob,

114:8 who turned a rock into a pool of water, a hard rock into springs of water!
