Psalm 114. In exitu Israel.

1. Hallelujah! When Israel came out of Egypt, *
   the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech,
2. Judah became God's sanctuary *
   and Israel his dominion.
3. The sea beheld it and fled; *
   Jordan turned and went back.
4. The mountains skipped like rams, *
   and the little hills like young sheep.
5. What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? *
   O Jordan, that you turned back?
6. You mountains, that you skipped like rams? *
   you little hills like young sheep?
7. Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, *
   at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8. Who turned the hard rock into a pool of water *
   and flint-stone into a flowing spring.
