Psalm 114

1-8       After  Israel  left  Egypt, 
        the  clan  of  Jacob  left  those  barbarians  behind; 
      Judah  became  holy  land  for  him, 
        Israel  the  place  of  holy  rule. 
      Sea  took  one  look  and  ran  the  other  way; 
        River  Jordan  turned  around  and  ran  off. 
      The  mountains  turned  playful  and  skipped  like  rams, 
        the  hills  frolicked  like  spring  lambs. 
      What’s  wrong  with  you,  Sea,  that  you  ran  away? 
        and  you,  River  Jordan,  that  you  turned  and  ran  off? 
      And  mountains,  why  did  you  skip  like  rams? 
        and  you,  hills,  frolic  like  spring  lambs? 
      Tremble,  Earth!  You’re  in  the  Lord’s  presence! 
        in  the  presence  of  Jacob’s  God. 
      He  turned  the  rock  into  a  pool  of  cool  water, 
        turned  flint  into  fresh  spring  water.
