Psalm 114

Psalm 114

New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 114

 ¹ When Israel came out of Egypt,
   Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
² Judah became God’s sanctuary,
   Israel his dominion. ³ The sea looked and fled,
   the Jordan turned back;
⁴ the mountains leaped like rams,
   the hills like lambs.
 ⁵ Why was it, sea, that you fled?
   Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
⁶ Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,
   you hills, like lambs?
 ⁷ Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,
   at the presence of the God of Jacob,
⁸ who turned the rock into a pool,
   the hard rock into springs of water.
