Psalm 114

Common English Bible CEB

1 When Israel came out of Egypt— when the house of Jacob came out from a people who spoke a different language—

2 Judah was God's sanctuary; Israel was God's territory.

3 The sea saw it happen and ran away; the Jordan River retreated!

4 The mountains leaped away like rams; the hills leaped away like lambs!

5 Sea, why did you run away? Jordan, why did you retreat?

6 Mountains, why did you leap away like rams? Hills, why did you leap away like lambs?

7 Earth: Tremble before the Lord! Tremble before the God of Jacob,

8 the one who turned that rock into a pool of water, that flint stone into a spring of water!

The Message Bible MSG

1 After Israel left Egypt, the clan of Jacob left those barbarians behind;

2 Judah became holy land for him, Israel the place of holy rule.

3 Sea took one look and ran the other way; River Jordan turned around and ran off.

4 The mountains turned playful and skipped like rams, the hills frolicked like spring lambs.

5 What's wrong with you, Sea, that you ran away? and you, River Jordan, that you turned and ran off?

6 And mountains, why did you skip like rams? and you, hills, frolic like spring lambs?

7 Tremble, Earth! You're in the Lord's presence! in the presence of Jacob's God.

8 He turned the rock into a pool of cool water, turned flint into fresh spring water.
