114:1
Alleluia! When Israel came out of Egypt, the House of Jacob from a people of foreign speech,
114:2
Judah became his sanctuary, and Israel his domain.
114:3
The sea fled at the sight, the Jordan turned back,
114:4
the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like sheep.
114:5
Sea, what makes you flee? Jordan, why turn back?
114:6
Why skip like rams, you mountains? Why like sheep, you hills?
114:7
Tremble, earth, at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the God of Jacob,
114:8
who turns rock into pool, flint into fountain.
