Psalms 114— CJB

¹When Isra'el came out of Egypt, the house of Ya'akov from a people of foreign speech,

²Y'hudah became [God's] sanctuary, Isra'el his domain.

³The sea saw this and fled; the Yarden turned back;

⁴the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

⁵Why is it, sea, that you flee? Why, Yarden, do you turn back?

⁶Why, mountains, do you skip like rams; and you hills like young sheep?

⁷Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Ya'akov,

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