Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 114

When the followers of Israel 
came out of Egypt, 
the house of Jacob 
from a people of foreign tongue,

Judah became His sanctuary, 
and Israel His dominion.

The sea saw and fled; 
the Jordan turned back.

The mountains skipped like rams, 
the hills like young lambs.

Why, O sea, did you flee?
 O Jordan, why did you turn back?

O mountains, why did you skip like rams,
and you hills, like young lambs?

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, 
at the presence of the God of Jacob,

Who turned the rock into a pool of water, 
the flint into a flowing spring.
