Psalm 114 In exitu Israel

WHEN Israel came out of Egypt, * and the house of Jacob from among the strange people,

²Judah was his sanctuary, * and Israel his dominion.

³The sea saw that, and fled; * Jordan was driven back.

⁴The mountains skipped like rams, * and the little hills like young sheep.

⁵What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? * and thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

⁶Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? * and ye little hills, like young sheep?

⁷Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord: * at the presence of the God of Jacob;

⁸Who turned the hard rock into a standing water, * and the flint-stone into a springing well.
