Psalm 114

¹Hallelujah! When Israel came out of Egypt, *the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech,

²Judah became God’s sanctuary *and Israel his dominion.

³The sea beheld it and fled; *Jordan turned and went back.

⁴The mountains skipped like rams, *and the little hills like young sheep.

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

⁶You mountains, that you skipped like rams? *you little hills like young sheep?

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

⁸Who turned the hard rock into a pool of water *and flint-stone into a flowing spring.
