Chapter 114 The house of Jacob


1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.


3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.


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


5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? Thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped [like] rams; and ye little hills, [like] lambs?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence (of the Lord) at the presence of the God (of Jacob);

8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain (of waters).
