Psalm 114

1  When aIsrael went out of Egypt,

The house of Jacob bfrom a people of strange language;

2  Judah was chis sanctuary,

And Israel dhis dominion.

3  eThe sea saw it, and fled:

fJordan was driven back.

4  gThe mountains skipped like rams,

And the hlittle hills like lambs.

5  iWhat ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest?

Thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

6  gYe mountains, that ye skipped like rams;

And ye hlittle hills, like lambs?

7  kTremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of the God of Jacob;

8  Which turned lthe rock into ma standing water,

The nflint into a fountain of waters.
