Psalm 114
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Psalm 114
God’s Wonders at the Exodus
1 [a]When Israel went out from Egypt,
    the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,(A)
2 Judah became God’s[b] sanctuary,
    Israel his dominion.(B)
3 The sea looked and fled;
    Jordan turned back.(C)
4 The mountains skipped like rams,
    the hills like lambs.(D)
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,(E)
8 who turns the rock into a pool of water,
    the flint into a spring of water.(F)
