Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
American Standard Version
Psalms 114
1When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language; 2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. 3The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back. 4The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs. 5What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back? 6Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs? 7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob, 8Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
