Psalms
Chapter 114
1
(113 A) The Exodus From Egypt 1Alleluia! When Israel came out of Egypt, the family of Jacob, from a people of a foreign language,
2
Judah became his Sanctuary; Israel, his possession.
3
At his sight, the sea fled and the Jordan retreated;
4
the mountains skipped like rams, the hills frolicked like lambs.
5
Why is it, sea, that you flee? Jordan, that you turn back?
6
Mountains, that you skip like rams? Hills, that you frolic like lambs?
7
Tremble, O earth, at the Lord’s presence, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8
who turned the rock into a stream, and the flint into a spring.
