Psalm 113   * 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  *  Psalm 115


   An exhortation to fear God.
   1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
   
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
   
3 The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back.
   
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
   
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
   
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
   
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
   
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
