Psalms 114 AMPC

1. WHEN ISRAEL came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2. Judah became [God's] sanctuary (the Holy Place of His habitation), and Israel His dominion. [Exod. 29:45, 46; Deut. 27:9.]

3. The [Red] Sea looked and fled; the Jordan [River] was turned back. [Exod. 14:21; Josh. 3:13, 16; Ps. 77:16.]

4. The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

5. What ails you, O [Red] Sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?

6. You mountains, that you skip like rams, and you little hills, like lambs?

7. Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8. Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters. [Exod. 17:6; Num. 20:11.]
