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.

Psalm 114 – King James Version (KJV)

1. When Israel went out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2. Judah was his sanctuary, And Israel his dominion.
3. The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4. The mountains skipped like rams, And the little hills like lambs.
5. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? Thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6. Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; And ye little hills, like lambs?
7. Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob;
8. Which turned the rock into a standing water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
