Psalms 114



114 <1> Israel[579] left Egypt.

Jacob left that foreign country.

<2> Judah became God's special people,

and Israel became his kingdom.

<3> The Red Sea saw this and ran away.

The Jordan River turned and ran.

<4> The mountains danced like rams.

The hills danced like lambs.

<5> Red Sea, why did you run away?

Jordan River, why did you turn and run away?

<6> Mountains, why did you dance like rams?

Hills, why did you dance like lambs?

<7> The earth shook in front of the Master,

the God of Jacob.[580]

<8> He is the one who caused water to flow from a rock.

He made a spring of water flow from that hard rock.
