Psalm 114 · Israels Auszug aus Ägypten

1When Israel went forth from Egypt,the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech,

2Judah became God’s holy one, Israel, God’s dominion.

3The sea saw them and fled,Jordan ran backward,

4mountains skipped like rams,hills like sheep.

5What alarmed you, O sea, that you fled,Jordan, that you ran backward,

6mountains, that you skipped like rams,hills, like sheep?

7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Sovereign,at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8who turned the rock into a pool of water,the flinty rock into a fountain.
