Psalms Chapter 114 – An exhortation to fear God.

1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

 

2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

 

3 The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back.

 

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

 

5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

 

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

 

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

 

8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
