Psalm 114
New English Translation
Psalm 114[a]
114 When Israel left Egypt,
when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,[b]
2 Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his kingdom.
3 The sea looked and fled;[c]
the Jordan River[d] turned back.[e]
4 The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.[f]
5 Why do you flee, O sea?
Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?
6 Why do you skip like rams, O mountains,
like lambs, O hills?
7 Tremble, O earth, before the Lord—
before the God of Jacob,
8 who turned a rock into a pool of water,
a hard rock into springs of water.[g]

Psalm 114
1 Toen Israël uit Egypte vertrok,
uit dat land met een andere taal,
2 koos God de stam van Juda uit:
in het gebied van Juda wilde Hij wonen.
Israël werd zijn koninkrijk.
3 De Rietzee zag het en vluchtte.
Ook de Jordaan ging aan de kant.
4 De bergen sprongen als bokken,
de heuvels huppelden als lammetjes.
5 Zee, waarom vluchtte jij?
Jordaan, waarom ging jij aan de kant?
6 Bergen, waarom sprongen jullie als bokken?
Heuvels, waarom huppelden jullie als lammetjes?
7 Beef, aarde, voor de Heer.
Beef voor de God van Jakob.
8 Hij veranderde de rots in een rivier,
de steen in een waterbron.

Psalm 114
King James Version
114 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
