114:1  When the Israelites escaped from Egypt--when the family of Jacob left that foreign land--
114:2  the land of Judah became God's sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom.
114:3  The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away.
114:4  The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs!
114:5  What's wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?
114:6  Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs?
114:7  Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.
114:8  He turned the rock into a pool of water; yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock.
