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