PSALM 114 And the Mountains Skip Like RamsWhen Israel came out of EgyptThe House of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue Judah became God's sanctuary Israel his dominion The sea looked and fled The Jordan turned back The mountains skipped like rams The hills like lambs Why was it, oh, sea, that you fled? Oh Jordan, that you turn back? You mountains, that you skipped like rams You hills, like lambs Tremble, oh, earth, at the presence of the Lord At the presence of the God of Jacob Who turned the rock into a pool And the hard rock into springs, springs of water Springs of water Springs of water When Israel came out, came out of Egypt The house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue Judah became God's sanctuary Israel his dominion The sea looked and fled The Jordan turned back And the mountains skipped like rams The hills like lambs Why was it, oh, sea Why was it you fled? Oh, Jordan, did you turn back? You mountains that you skipped like rams You hills, like lambs Tremble, oh earth Tremble, oh earth At the presence of the Lord At the presence of the God of Jacob Who turned the rock into a pool Who turned the rock into a pool The hard rock into springs of water |
