Psalm 114 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

(cf. Exo 14:1–31 )

When Israel went forth out of Egypt,

The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Judah became his sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

The sea saw it, and fled;

The Jordan was driven back.

The mountains skipped like rams,

The little hills like lambs.

What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest?

Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams;

Ye little hills, like lambs?

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

At the presence of the God of Jacob,

Who turned the rock into a pool of water,

The flint into a fountain of waters.
