Psalm 114
New Life Version
God Takes Israel from Egypt
114 Israel came out of Egypt. The house of Jacob came from a people who spoke a strange language. 2 Then Judah became His holy place, and Israel became the place of His rule.
3 The sea looked and ran away. The Jordan turned back. 4 The mountains jumped like sheep, the hills like lambs. 5 Why did you try to get away, O sea? Why did you turn back, O Jordan? 6 O mountains, why did you jump like sheep? O hills, why did you jump like lambs?
7 Shake in fear before the Lord, O earth, before the God of Jacob. 8 He changed the rock into a pool of water. He made water flow out of hard rock.
Psalm 114
New King James Version
The Power of God in His Deliverance of Israel(A)
114 When (B)Israel went out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob (C)from a people [a]of strange language,
2 (D)Judah became His sanctuary,
And Israel His dominion.
3 (E)The sea saw it and fled;
(F)Jordan turned back.
4 (G)The mountains skipped like rams,
The little hills like lambs.
5 (H)What ails you, O sea, that you fled?
O Jordan, that you turned back?
6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams?
O little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 (I)Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of waters.
