Psalms 114
Alleluia!
1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the House of Jacob from a foreign nation,
2 Judah became his sanctuary and Israel his domain.
3 The sea fled at the sight, the Jordan stopped flowing,
4 the mountains skipped like rams, and like lambs, the hills.
5 Sea, what makes you run away? Jordan, why stop flowing?
6 Why skip like rams, you mountains, why like lambs, you hills?
7 Quake, earth, at the coming of your Master, at the coming of the God of Jacob,
8 who turns rock into pool flint into fountain.
