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
Praise to God for His Works During the Exodus
1When Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language,
2Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
3The sea looked and fled;
the Jordan turned back.
4The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.#Literally “sons of the flock”
5What’s with you, O sea, that you fled?
O Jordan, that you turned back?
6O mountains, that you skipped like rams?
O hills, like lambs?
7At the presence of the Lord writhe, O earth,#Or “O land”
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8who turned the rock into a pool of water,
flinty stone into a spring of water.
