Psalms 114

New International Version NIV

1 When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;

4 the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs.

5 Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back?

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

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

8 who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs 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.
