Psalm 114 9
114:1 When Israel left Egypt,
when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind, 10
114:2 Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his kingdom.
114:3 The sea looked and fled; 11
the Jordan River 12 turned back. 13

the hills like lambs. 14

like lambs, O hills?

before the God of Jacob,
114:8 who turned a rock into a pool of water,
a hard rock into springs of water! 15
