Psalms 114
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
1 Ref When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;
2 Ref Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.
3 Ref The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.
4 Ref The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.
5 Ref What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?
6 Ref You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?
7 Ref Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;
8 Ref Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.

3 Ref The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
4 Ref The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.
5 Ref What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

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