Psalm 114

In exitu Israel

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 8 verses

  1. 1

    Hallelujah! When Israel came out of Egypt, *
    the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech,

  2. 2

    Judah became God's sanctuary *
    and Israel his dominion.

  3. 3

    The sea beheld it and fled; *
    Jordan turned and went back.

  4. 4

    The mountains skipped like rams, *
    and the little hills like young sheep.

  5. 5

    What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? *
    O Jordan, that you turned back?

  6. 6

    You mountains, that you skipped like rams? *
    you little hills like young sheep?

  7. 7

    Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, *
    at the presence of the God of Jacob,

  8. 8

    Who turned the hard rock into a pool of water *
    and flint-stone into a flowing spring.
