Psalm 114

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.

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.
