Psalm 114

Easy-to-Read Version

114 The people of Israel escaped from Egypt.
    Yes, Jacob’s descendants left that foreign country.
² Then Judah became God’s special people,
    and Israel became his kingdom.
³ The Red Sea saw this and ran away.
    The Jordan River turned and ran.
⁴ The mountains danced like rams.
    The hills danced like lambs.

⁵ Red Sea, why did you run away?
    Jordan River, why did you turn and run away?
⁶ Mountains, why did you dance like rams?
    Hills, why did you dance like lambs?

⁷ The earth shook in front of the Lord,
    the God of Jacob.
⁸ He is the one who caused water to flow from a rock.
    He made a spring of water flow from that hard rock.
