Psalm 114

Complete Jewish Bible

114 When Isra’el came out of Egypt,
the house of Ya‘akov from a people of foreign speech,
² Y’hudah became [God’s] sanctuary,
Isra’el his domain.

³ The sea saw this and fled;
the Yarden turned back;
⁴ the mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like young sheep.

⁵ Why is it, sea, that you flee?
Why, Yarden, do you turn back?
⁶ Why, mountains, do you skip like rams;
and you hills like young sheep?

⁷ Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Ya‘akov,
⁸ who turned the rock into a pool of water,
flint into flowing spring.
