Summary of Psalms 114
When Israel came out of Egypt, God made Judah His sanctuary. The sea saw Him and fled, the Jordan turned back, and the mountains skipped like rams. The psalm asks why, and answers: tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, who turned the rock into a pool of water.

Psalms 114: full text (King James Version)
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
