YLT · Young's Literal Translation

Psalms 114

1In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

4The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

5What -- to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

6O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

7From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

8He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
