Psalm 114 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

(cf. Exo 14:1–31 )

Psa 114:1When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

Psa 114:2Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

Psa 114:3The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

Psa 114:4The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

Psa 114:5What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

Psa 114:6You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

Psa 114:7Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

Psa 114:8Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
