Psalm 114

Remember the great things that God has done

¹God led Israel's people out of Egypt.

Jacob's descendants left that foreign land.

²Judah became God's special place for his people.

There he ruled over Israel's people.

³The sea looked and ran away!

The Jordan River also turned back!

⁴The mountains shook ,

like sheep that are jumping.

The hills jumped like lambs .

⁵Tell me, sea, why did you run away?

Tell me, Jordan River, why did you turn back?

⁶And you mountains and hills,

why did you jump like sheep?

⁷Earth, shake with fear !

The Lord , Jacob's God, has come to you,

so be afraid!

⁸He changed a rock into a pool of water!

Water poured out of a hard rock!
