Psalm 114 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

God's Deliverance of Israel from Egypt.

(cf. Exo 14:1–31 )
Psa 114:1
When Israel went forth out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
Psa 114:2
Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
Psa 114:3
The sea saw it, and fled;
The Jordan was driven back.
Psa 114:4
The mountains skipped like rams,
The little hills like lambs.
Psa 114:5
What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest?
Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?
Psa 114:6
Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams;
Ye little hills, like lambs?
Psa 114:7
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob,
Psa 114:8
Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of waters.
