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.

Psalm 114
114
1 Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.
2 For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.
3 The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow.
4 And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.
5 Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.
6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.
7 Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.
8 For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping.
9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
