Psalms 114

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

 114:1 ¶ When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

 114:2 Judea was made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

 114:3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

 114:4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

 114:5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

 114:6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

 114:7 At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

 114:8 Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
