Psalms 114

1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; 2Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. 3The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. 4The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. 5What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back? 6You mountains, that you skipped like rams; and you little hills, like lambs? 7Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; 8Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
