Psalm 114

When the Israelites departed Egypt,
When the family of Jacob escaped
From people who spoke a barbarous tongue,
Judah became the sanctuary of God,
And Israel became his dominion.
When the Red Sea caught sight of them, it fled,
And the flow of the Jordan was reversed.
The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
Why was it then, O sea, that you took flight?
Why was it, O Jordan, that you turned back?
Why was it, you mountains, that you skip like rams,
And why was it, you hills, that you skipped like lambs.
Tremble, earth, in the presence of Jehovah,
In the presence of the god of Jacob,
Who transformed rock into a pool of water
And turned flint into a flowing fountain.
