Psalms 114 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

God's Deliverance of Israel from Egypt.

1. When Israel went forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2. Judah became His sanctuary, Israel, His dominion.

3. The sea looked and fled; The Jordan turned back.

4. The mountains skipped like rams, The hills, like lambs.

5. What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?

6. O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?

7. Tremble, O earth, before the Lord, Before the God of Jacob,

8. Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of water.
