Contemporary English Version

Psalms 114

The Lord Works Wonders

1 God brought his people
out of Egypt,
    that land
    with a strange language.
2 He made Judah his holy place
    and ruled over Israel.

3 When the sea looked at God,
    it ran away,
    and the Jordan River
    flowed upstream.
4 The mountains and the hills
    skipped around like goats.

5 Ask the sea why it ran away
    or ask the Jordan
    why it flowed upstream.
6 Ask the mountains and the hills
    why they skipped like goats!

7 Earth, you will tremble,
    when the Lord God of Jacob
    comes near,
8 because he turns solid rock
into flowing streams
    and pools of water.
