Psalm 114                                                                                                    Sunday Evening 1

After Israel left Egypt, * and Jacob that brutal people,

Judah became his sanctuary, * Israel his own domain.

    The Dead Sea saw him and fled; * the Jordan River turned back.

    The mountains skipped like rams, * the hills like lambs.

    What happened, Sea, that you fled? * Jordan, why turn back?

    Mountains, why leap like rams? * hills, like lambs?

Tremble, earth, before the Lord, * before the God of Jacob,

who turned rock into a pool of water, * flint into a flowing spring.
