Psalm 114 - Modern English Version

¹ When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

² Judah became His sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

³ The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back.

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

⁵ What ails you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back?

⁶ O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O hills, like lambs?

⁷ Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁸ who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
