Psalm 114
Literal Standard Version
Chapter overview
Psalm 114 compresses Exodus and entry into the land into a vivid creation response. Sea and Jordan withdraw, mountains leap, and stone becomes water before the presence that transforms enslaved people into a sanctuary.

1In the going out of Israel from Egypt, || The house of Jacob from a strange people,
2Judah became His sanctuary, || Israel his dominion.
3The sea has seen, and flees, || The Jordan turns backward.
4The mountains have skipped as rams, || Heights as sons of a flock.
5What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back!
6O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
7From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, || From before the God of Jacob,
8He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, || The flint to a fountain of waters!
