Psalms 114

2 the land of Judah became God's sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom.

3 The Red Sea* saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away.¹

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs!

5 What's wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?

6 Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, little hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Israel.*²

8 He turned the rock into pools of water; yes, springs of water came from solid rock.
