Psalms 114

An exhortation, by the example of the dumb creatures, to fear God in his Church.

 114:1 ¶ When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

 114:2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

 114:3 The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back.

 114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

 114:5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

 114:6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?

 114:7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

 114:8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
