114:1 When the people of Israel left Egypt, when Jacob's descendants left that foreign land, |
114:2 Judah became the Lord's holy people, Israel became his own possession. |
114:3 The Red Sea looked and ran away; the Jordan River stopped flowing. |
114:4 The mountains skipped like goats; the hills jumped around like lambs. |
114:5 What happened, Sea, to make you run away? And you, O Jordan, why did you stop flowing? |
114:6 You mountains, why did you skip like goats? You hills, why did you jump around like lambs? |
114:7 Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming, at the presence of the God of Jacob, |
114:8 who changes rocks into pools of water and solid cliffs into flowing springs. |
