< Psalms 114 >

1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language;
When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.
5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?
Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
