Psalm 114

English Standard Version ESV

1 When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?

6 O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.

New Living Translation NLT

1 When the Israelites escaped from Egypt— when the family of Jacob left that foreign land—

2 the land of Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom.

3 The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs!

5 What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?

6 Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

8 He turned the rock into a pool of water; yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock.
