Psalm 114

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.

Good News Translation GNT

1 When the people of Israel left Egypt, when Jacob's descendants left that foreign land,

2 Judah became the Lord's holy people, Israel became his own possession.

3 The Red Sea looked and ran away; the Jordan River stopped flowing.

4 The mountains skipped like goats; the hills jumped around like lambs.

5 What happened, Sea, to make you run away? And you, O Jordan, why did you stop flowing?

6 You mountains, why did you skip like goats? You hills, why did you jump around like lambs?

7 Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who changes rocks into pools of water and solid cliffs into flowing springs.
