Psalm 114

When Israel left Egypt,
    when Jacob’s family left people who spoke a foreign language,
Judah became his holy place and Israel became his kingdom.
    The Red Sea looked at this and ran away.
        The Jordan River turned back.
            The mountains jumped like rams.
            The hills jumped like lambs.
        Red Sea, why did you run away?
        Jordan River, what made you turn back?
            Mountains, what made you jump like rams?
            Hills, what made you jump like lambs?
Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord,
    in the presence of the Elohim of Jacob.
        He turns a rock into a pool filled with water
            and turns flint into a spring flowing with water.

Tremble at the Presence of the Lord

114 When (A)Israel went out from Egypt,
    the house of Jacob from (B)a people of strange language,
Judah became his (C)sanctuary,
    Israel his dominion.

(D)The sea looked and fled;
    (E)Jordan turned back.
(F)The mountains skipped like rams,
    the hills like lambs.

What (G)ails you, O sea, that you flee?
    O Jordan, that you turn back?
O mountains, that you skip like rams?
    O hills, like lambs?

(H)Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
    at the presence of the God of Jacob,
who turns (I)the rock into (J)a pool of water,
    (K)the flint into a spring of water.
