Psalms 114 — NETB

114Verse 1When Israel left Egypt,
when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,
^{Verse 2}Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his kingdom.
^{Verse 3}The sea looked and fled;
the Jordan River turned back.
^{Verse 4}The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.
^{Verse 5}Why do you flee, O sea?
Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?
^{Verse 6}Why do you skip like rams, O mountains,
like lambs, O hills?
^{Verse 7}Tremble, O earth, before the Lord –
before the God of Jacob,
^{Verse 8}who turned a rock into a pool of water,
a hard rock into springs of water!
