< Psalms 114 >
1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,
When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:
Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;
The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.
4 The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?
The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.
5 What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?
What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?
6 Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?
Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?
7 Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:
The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,
8 Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
