Context of Psalms 114:6
4The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs. 5What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back? Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs? 7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob, 8Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
