Psalms 114 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible

Psalms 114

¹When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

²Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back.

⁴The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

⁵What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

⁶Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?

⁷Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁸Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.

Psalms 114

¹When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

²Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

³The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

⁴the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

⁵Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

⁶O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

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

⁸who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
