Psalms 114

1In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people, 2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion. 3The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward. 4The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock. 5What--to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back! 6O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock! 7From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob, 8He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
