Psalm 114

1. When Isra’el came out of Egypt, 1 the house of Ya‘akov from a people of foreign speech,

2. Y’hudah became [God’s] sanctuary, 2 Isra’el his domain.

3. The sea saw this and fled; 3 the Yarden turned back;

4. the mountains skipped like rams, 4 the hills like young sheep.

5. Why is it, sea, that you flee? 5 Why, Yarden, do you turn back?

6. Why, mountains, do you skip like rams; 6 and you hills like young sheep?

7. Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, 7 at the presence of the God of Ya‘akov,

8. who turned the rock into a pool of water, 8 flint into flowing spring.
