Judah became the sanctuary of God,
Israel, the dominion of Adonai.
The sea saw and fled,
The Jordan flowed in reverse.
The mountains skipped like rams,
Hills as the young of the flock.
What's with you sea, that you flee?
Jordan, why do you flow upstream?
Mountains, why do you skip like rams?
Hills, why like the young of the flock?
Yes! Dance, earth before Adonai,
In the presence of the God of Jacob,
Who transformed rock into a water pool,
Flint into a flowing spring!
Psalm 114
