Psalms114

A Psalm of Exodus

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

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?

You mountains, that you skipped like rams; and you little hills, like lambs?

Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
