Psalm 114 - English Standard Version 2016

Tremble at the Presence of the Lord

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

² Judah became his sanctuary, 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 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.
