Psalms - Chapter 114 | Good News Translation

  • 1. When the people of Israel left Egypt, when Jacob's descendants left that foreign land,
  • 2. Judah became the Lord's holy people, Israel became his own possession.
  • 3. The Red Sea looked and ran away; the Jordan River stopped flowing.
  • 4. The mountains skipped like goats; the hills jumped around like lambs.
  • 5. What happened, Sea, to make you run away? And you, O Jordan, why did you stop flowing?
  • 6. You mountains, why did you skip like goats? You hills, why did you jump around like lambs?
  • 7. Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
  • 8. who changes rocks into pools of water and solid cliffs into flowing springs.
