Psalms 114

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
Psalm 114
1When Israel came out of Egypt—
when the house of Jacob came out
from a people who spoke a different language—
2Judah was God’s sanctuary;
Israel was God’s territory.
3The sea saw it happen and ran away;
the Jordan River retreated!
4The mountains leaped away like rams;
the hills leaped away like lambs!
5Sea, why did you run away?
Jordan, why did you retreat?
6Mountains, why did you leap away like rams?
Hills, why did you leap away like lambs?
7Earth: Tremble before the Lord!
Tremble before the God of Jacob,
8the one who turned that rock into a pool of water,
that flint stone into a spring of water!
