Psalm 114
New American Standard Bible 2020
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.

1When Israel went forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of a foreign language,
2Judah became His sanctuary; Israel, His dominion.
3¶The sea looked and fled; The Jordan turned back.
4The mountains skipped like rams, The hills, like lambs.
5What ails you, sea, that you flee? Jordan, that you turn back?
6Mountains, that you skip like rams? Hills, like lambs?
7¶Tremble, earth, before the Lord, Before the God of Jacob,
8Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of water.
