< Psalms 114 >

1 Alleluya. In the goyng out of Israel fro Egipt; of the hous of Jacob fro the hethene puple.
At the time of the exodus of Israel from Egypt, when the descendants of Jacob left that foreign country,
2 Judee was maad the halewyng of hym; Israel the power of hym.
the land of Judah became the Lord's sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.
3 The see siy, and fledde; Jordan was turned abac.
The Red Sea saw them and ran away; the Jordan River retreated.
4 Munteyns ful out ioyeden as rammes; and litle hillis as the lambren of scheep.
Mountains jumped in fright like rams, hills startled like lambs.
5 Thou see, what was to thee, for thou fleddist; and thou, Jordan, for thou were turned abak?
Red Sea—why did you run away? Jordan River—why did you retreat?
6 Munteyns, ye maden ful out ioye as rammes; and litle hillis, as the lambren of scheep.
Mountains—why did you jump in fright? Hills—why did you startle like lambs?
7 The erthe was moued fro the face of `the Lord; fro the face of God of Jacob.
Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, tremble in the presence of the God of Jacob!
8 Which turnede a stoon in to pondis of watris; and an hard rooch in to wellis of watris.
He is the one who turned the rock into a pool of water; making water flow from the hard rock.
