[114:1] When the people of Israel left Egypt, when Jacob's descendants left that foreign land,
[114:2] Judah became the Lord's holy people, Israel became his own possession.
[114:3] The Red Sea looked and ran away; the Jordan River stopped flowing.
[114:4] The mountains skipped like goats; the hills jumped around like lambs.
[114:5] What happened, Sea, to make you run away? And you, O Jordan, why did you stop flowing?
[114:6] You mountains, why did you skip like goats? You hills, why did you jump around like lambs?
[114:7] Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
[114:8] who changes rocks into pools of water and solid cliffs into flowing springs.
