Psalm 114

International Children’s Bible

God Brought Israel from Egypt

114 The Israelites went out of Egypt.
The people of Jacob left that foreign country.
²Then Judah became God’s holy place.
Israel became the land he ruled.

³The Red Sea looked and ran away.
    The Jordan River turned back.
⁴The mountains danced like sheep
    and the hills like little lambs.
⁵Sea, why did you run away?
    Jordan, why did you turn back?
⁶Mountains, why did you dance like sheep?
    Hills, why did you dance like little lambs?

⁷Earth, shake with fear before the Lord.
Tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob.
⁸He turned a rock into a pool of water.
He changed a hard rock into a spring of water.
