Psalms 114 GNV
Summary: A brief, vivid exodus psalm personifying nature's reaction to Israel's deliverance: "When Israel went out of Egypt... the sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back" (v. 1, 3). The mountains and hills are pictured leaping "like rams... like lambs" (v. 4), and the psalmist taunts these natural features directly — "What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest?" (v. 5) — before answering that it was the presence of "the God of Jacob" who turns rock into a pool of water (v. 7-8).
1When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,
2Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.
3The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.
4The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.
5What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?
6Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?
7The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,
8Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.
