114 God led Israel's people out of Egypt.
Jacob's descendants left that foreign land.
2 Then Judah became God's special place for his people.
There he ruled over Israel's people.
3 The sea looked and ran away!
Then the Jordan River turned back! [ b ]
4 The mountains shook,
like sheep that are jumping.
The hills jumped like lambs. [ c ]
5 Tell me, sea, why did you run away?
Tell me, Jordan River, why did you turn back?
6 And you mountains and hills,
why did you jump like sheep?
7 Earth, you should shake with fear!
The Lord, Jacob's God, has come to you,
so be afraid!
8 He changes a rock into a pool of water!
Water pours out of a hard rock! [ d ]
114 The people of Israel escaped from Egypt.
Yes, Jacob’s descendants left that foreign country.
2 Then 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 Lord,
the God of Jacob.
8 He is the one who caused water to flow from a rock.
He made a spring of water flow from that hard rock.
114 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.
114 When Israel went forth ( A ) from Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of a ( B ) foreign language,
2 Judah became ( C ) His sanctuary;
Israel, ( D ) His dominion.
3 The ( E ) sea looked and fled;
The ( F ) Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains ( G ) skipped like rams,
The hills, like lambs.
5 What ( H ) ails you, sea, that you flee?
Jordan, that you turn back?
6 Mountains, that you skip like rams?
Hills, like lambs?
7 ( I ) Tremble, earth, before the Lord,
Before the God of Jacob,
8 Who ( J ) turned the rock into a ( K ) pool of water,
The ( L ) flint into a fountain of water.
1 When Israel came out of Egypt, ( A )
Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2 Judah ( B ) became God’s sanctuary, ( C )
Israel his dominion.
3 The sea looked and fled, ( D )
the Jordan turned back; ( E )
4 the mountains leaped ( F ) like rams,
the hills like lambs.
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled? ( G )
Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
6 Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,
you hills, like lambs?
