Chapter 114

God's dominion over the earth


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.
