Psalms 114:1-5
11When Israel left Egypt, when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,
2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.
3The sea looked and fled; the Jordan River turned back.
4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5Why do you flee, O sea? Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?
