114:1 When the time came for Israel to leave Egypt— for Jacob’s family to be free of those who spoke another language—
114:2 God chose to make Judah His sacred place, and Israel became His realm.
114:3 And the waters of the sea witnessed God’s actions and ran away; the Jordan, too, turned around and ran back to where it came from.
114:4 All of the mountains leapt with the strength of mighty rams, and all of the hills danced with the joy of little lambs.
114:5 Why do you retreat, O sea? Why do you roll back your waters, O Jordan?
114:6 Why, O mountains, do you leap with the strength of rams? Why, O hills, do you dance with joy like little lambs?
114:7 Shudder and quake, O you earth, at the sight of the Lord. The God of Jacob comes,
114:8 Who turns rock into pools of refreshing water and flint into fountains of life-giving streams!
