← Psalms Psalms 114

Tremble at the Presence of the Lord

PSALM 114 [†] When  p Israel went out from Egypt,

the house of Jacob from  q a people of strange language,

2 Judah became his  r sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

3[^][†]  s The sea looked and fled;

 t Jordan turned back.

4  u The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs.

5 What  v ails you, O sea, that you flee?

O Jordan, that you turn back?

6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

7[†]  w Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who turns  x the rock into  y a pool of water,

 z the flint into a spring of water.
