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.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 Ref In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
2 Ref Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 Ref The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.
4 Ref The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
5 Ref What -- to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!
6 Ref O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
7 Ref From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
8 Ref He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
