Psalms 114

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 When Israel came forth from Egypt, the house of Jacob from an alien people,	1 Al eluia! When Israel came out of Egypt, the House of Jacob from a people of foreign speech,
2 Judah became God's holy place, Israel, God's domain.	2 Judah became his sanctuary, and Israel his domain.
3 The sea beheld and fled; the Jordan turned back.	3 The sea fled at the sight, the Jordan turned back,
4 The mountains skipped like rams; the hills, like lambs of the flock.	4 the mountains skipped like rams, the hil s like sheep.
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you turned back?	5 Sea, what makes you flee? Jordan, why turn back?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You hills, like lambs of the flock?	6 Why skip like rams, you mountains? Why like sheep, you hills?
7 Tremble, earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob,	7 Tremble, earth, at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the God of Jacob,
8 Who turned rock into pools of water, stone into flowing springs.	8 who turns rock into pool, flint into fountain.
