• Psalm 114
• In exitu Israel

¹ Hallelujah!

When Israel came out of Egypt, *

the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech,

² Judah became God's sanctuary *

and Israel his dominion.

³ The sea beheld it and fled; *

Jordan turned and went back.

⁴ The mountains skipped like rams, *

and the little hills like young sheep.

⁵ What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? *

O Jordan, that you turned back?

⁶ You mountains, that you skipped like rams? *

you little hills like young sheep?

⁷ Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, *

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁸ Who turned the hard rock into a pool of water *

and flint-stone into a flowing spring.
