1 PSALM 114 God’s Rescue of Israel from Egypt. When Israel came out of Egypt,The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judah became His sanctuary,And Israel His dominion.
3 The [Red] SeaSome of the ancient rabbis said that the sea saw God’s right hand placed on Moses. Others said that it saw God’s name (YHWH) engraved on Moses’ staff.looked and fled;The Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains leaped like rams,The [little] hills, like lambs.
5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee?O Jordan, that you turn back?
6 O mountains, that you leap like rams,O [little] hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,At the presence of the God of Jacob (Israel),
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water,The flint into a fountain of water.
