Psalm 114:1-8

114  Praise Jehovah!When Israel came out of Egypt,Jacob’s family from a people of outlandish speech, 2  Judah became sacred to him,Israel his dominions. 3  The sea saw and took flight,the Jordan turned round backward, 4  The mountains leaped like rams,hills like sons of the flocks. 5  What happened to you, sea, that you should take flight?Jordan, that you should turn round backward? 6  That you should leap like rams, mountains,like sons of the flocks, hills? 7  Quiver, earth, before a Lord,before Jacob’s God, 8  Who turns the rock to a pool of water,a block of pyrite to a fountainhead of water.
