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.
English Revised 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; Jordan was driven back. 4The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like young sheep. 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 young sheep? 7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; 8Which turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
