New King James Version

Psalms 114:1-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

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

3. The sea saw it and fled;Jordan turned back.

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

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