Psalms 114

1When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, 2Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion. 3The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back; 4the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. 5Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back, 6O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs? 7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, 8who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
