Psalm 114 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

God’s Rescue of Israel from Egypt.

(cf. Exo 14:1–31 )
Psa 114:1

When Israel came out of Egypt,

The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

Psa 114:2

Judah became His sanctuary,

And Israel His dominion.

Psa 114:3

The [Red] Sea [fn]looked and fled;

The Jordan turned back.

Psa 114:4

The mountains leaped like rams,

The [little] hills, like lambs.

Psa 114:5

What ails you, O sea, that you flee?

O Jordan, that you turn back?

Psa 114:6

O mountains, that you leap like rams,

O [little] hills, like lambs?

Psa 114:7

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of the God of Jacob (Israel),

Psa 114:8

Who turned the rock into a pool of water,

The flint into a fountain of water.
