Psalms 114 / 150
- 1
(Tremble at the Presence of the Lord)
When Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
- 2
Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
- 3
The sea looked and fled;
Jordan turned back.
- 4
The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.
- 5
What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
- 6
O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?
- 7
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
- 8
who turns the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water.
