Psalm 114
Common English Bible
Psalm 114
114 When Israel came out of Egypt—
    when the house of Jacob came out
    from a people who spoke a different language—
2     Judah was God’s sanctuary;
    Israel was God’s territory.
3 The sea saw it happen and ran away;
    the Jordan River retreated!
4 The mountains leaped away like rams;
    the hills leaped away like lambs!
5 Sea, why did you run away?
    Jordan, why did you retreat?
6     Mountains, why did you leap away like rams?
    Hills, why did you leap away like lambs?
7 Earth: Tremble before the Lord!
    Tremble before the God of Jacob,
8         the one who turned that rock into a pool of water,
        that flint stone into a spring of water!
Psalm 114
New International Version
Psalm 114
1 When Israel came out of Egypt,(A)
    Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2 Judah(B) became God’s sanctuary,(C)
    Israel his dominion.
3 The sea looked and fled,(D)
    the Jordan turned back;(E)
4 the mountains leaped(F) like rams,
    the hills like lambs.
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?(G)
    Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
6 Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,
    you hills, like lambs?
