PSALM 114
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1When Isr'el out of Egypt went,
and did his dwelling change,
When Jacob's house went out from those
that were of language strange,
2He Judah did his sanctuary,
his kingdom Isr'el make:
3The sea it saw, and quickly fled,
Jordan was driven back.
4Like rams the mountains, and like lambs
the hills skipp'd to and fro.
5O sea, why fledd'st thou? Jordan, back
why wast thou driven so?
6Ye mountains great, wherefore was it
that ye did skip like rams?
And wherefore was it, little hills,
that ye did leap like lambs?
7O at the presence of the Lord,
earth, tremble thou for fear,
While as the presence of the God
of Jacob doth appear:
8Who from the hard and stony rock
did standing water bring;
And by his pow'r did turn the flint
into a water-spring.

Psalms 114
114
1The people of Israel escaped from Egypt.
Yes, Jacob’s descendants left that foreign country.
2Then Judah became God’s special people,
and Israel became his kingdom.
3The Red Sea saw this and ran away.
The Jordan River turned and ran.
4The mountains danced like rams.
The hills danced like lambs.
5Red Sea, why did you run away?
Jordan River, why did you turn and run away?
6Mountains, why did you dance like rams?
Hills, why did you dance like lambs?
7The earth shook in front of the Lord,
the God of Jacob.
8He is the one who caused water to flow from a rock.
He made a spring of water flow from that hard rock.
