Psalm 114  •  1 min. read  •  grade level: 5
Listen from:
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the lord [adon], at the presence of the Eloăh of Jacob;
Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
114:7, 8 Earth called to tremble before Adon, the Eloah of Jacob, who turned rock into pool of water and flint to fountain; 1, 2 whose display when Israel came out of Egypt, as owned by him, is given 3-6.
