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.
Geneva Bible 1599
Psalms 114
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.
