Psalms 114

¹ When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

בְּצֵאת יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָיִם בֵּית יַעֲקֹב מֵעַם לֹעֵֽז׃

² Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

הָיְתָה יְהוּדָה לְקָדְשׁוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל מַמְשְׁלוֹתָֽיו׃

³ The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

הַיָּם רָאָה וַיָּנֹס הַיַּרְדֵּן יִסֹּב לְאָחֽוֹר׃

⁴ the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

הֶֽהָרִים רָקְדוּ כְאֵילִים גְּבָעוֹת כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃

⁵ Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

מַה־לְּךָ הַיָּם כִּי תָנוּס הַיַּרְדֵּן תִּסֹּב לְאָחֽוֹר׃

⁶ O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

הֶֽהָרִים תִּרְקְדוּ כְאֵילִים גְּבָעוֹת כִּבְנֵי־צֹֽאן׃

⁷ Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

מִלִּפְנֵי אָדוֹן חוּלִי אָרֶץ מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלוֹהַּ יַעֲקֹֽב׃

⁸ who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!

הַהֹפְכִי הַצּוּר אֲגַם־מָיִם חַלָּמִישׁ לְמַעְיְנוֹ־מָֽיִם׃
