Psalm 114 - New Revised Standard Version

God's Wonders at the Exodus

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

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

³ The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back.

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

⁵ Why is it, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?

⁶ O mountains, that you skip 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 turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.
