Psalm 114

¹When Israel came out of Egypt—

when the house of Jacob came out

from a people who spoke a different language—

²Judah was God’s sanctuary;

Israel was God’s territory.

³The sea saw it happen and ran away;

the Jordan River retreated!

⁴The mountains leaped away like rams;

the hills leaped away like lambs!

⁵Sea, why did you run away?

Jordan, why did you retreat?

⁶Mountains, why did you leap away like rams?

Hills, why did you leap away like lambs?

⁷Earth: Tremble before the Lord!

Tremble before the God of Jacob,
