Psalm 114
8,6,8,6

^1When Isr'el out of Egypt went,

and did his dwelling change,

When Jacob's house went out from those

that were of language strange,

^2He Judah did his sanctuary,

his kingdom Isr'el make:

^3The sea it saw, and quickly fled,

Jordan was driven back.

^4Like rams the mountains, and like lambs

the hills skipp'd to and fro.

^5O sea, why fledd'st thou? Jordan, back

why wast thou driven so?

^6Ye mountains great, wherefore was it

that ye did skip like rams?

And wherefore was it, little hills,

that ye did leap like lambs?

^7O at the presence of the Lord,

earth, tremble thou for fear,

While as the presence of the God

of Jacob doth appear:

^8Who from the hard and stony rock

did standing water bring;

And by his pow'r did turn the flint

into a water-spring.
