Psalm 114 - New International Version (Anglicised)

Psalm 114

¹ When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

² Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³ The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;

⁴ the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs.

⁵ Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back?

⁶ Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs?

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

⁸ who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
