Psalm 114 - English Standard Version (ESV)

Tremble at the Presence of the Lord

114 When (A)Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from (B)a people of strange language,
2 Judah became his (C)sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.

3 (D)The sea looked and fled;
(E)Jordan turned back.
4 (F)The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.

5 What (G)ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?

7 (H)Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turns (I)the rock into (J)a pool of water,
(K)the flint into a spring of water.
