Psalm 114
In exitu Israel
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 8 verses
- 1
Hallelujah! When Israel came out of Egypt, *
the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech, - 2
Judah became God's sanctuary *
and Israel his dominion. - 3
The sea beheld it and fled; *
Jordan turned and went back. - 4
The mountains skipped like rams, *
and the little hills like young sheep. - 5
What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? *
O Jordan, that you turned back? - 6
You mountains, that you skipped like rams? *
you little hills like young sheep? - 7
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, *
at the presence of the God of Jacob, - 8
Who turned the hard rock into a pool of water *
and flint-stone into a flowing spring.
