Psalm 114⁸

114:1 When Israel left Egypt,
when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,¹
114:2 Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his kingdom.
114:3 The sea looked and fled,
the Jordan River turned back.²
114:4 The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.³
114:5 Why do you flee, O sea?
Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?
114:6 Why do you skip like rams, O mountains,
like lambs, O hills?
114:7 Tremble, O earth, before the sovereign master,
before the God of Jacob,
114:8 who turned a rock into a pool of water,
a hard rock into springs of water!⁴
