Psalm 114 | Liturgical Calendar

1

When Israel came out of Egypt, *

and the house of Jacob from among a people of a foreign tongue,

2

Judah was God’s sanctuary, *

and Israel his dominion.

3

The sea beheld it and fled; *

Jordan was driven back.

4

The mountains skipped like rams, *

and the little hills like young sheep.

5

What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? *

O Jordan, that you were driven back?

6

You mountains, that you skipped like rams, *

and you little hills like young sheep?

7

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, *

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8

Who turned the hard rock into a pool of water, *

and the flint stone into a springing well.
