Psalms



The fifth book of Psalms, song 114, New English Translation

Psalm 114


   1 When Israel left Egypt, when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,
   2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.
   3 The sea looked and fled; the Jordan River turned back.
   4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
   5 Why do you flee, O sea? Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?
   6 Why do you skip like rams, O mountains, like lambs, O hills?
   7 Tremble, O earth, before the LORD - before the God of Jacob,
   8 who turned a rock into a pool of water, a hard rock into springs of water!
