Psalm 114
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
1 When Israel came out of Egypt, and the house of Jacob from a- | mong the • strange | people, ||
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and | Isra•el | his do- | minion. ||
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
3 The sea saw that, and fled; Jordan was | driven | back. ||
4 The mountains skipped like rams, | and the • little | 3 hills like young | sheep. ||
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?
5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? * and thou Jordan, that | thou wast • driven | back? ||
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? * | and ye • little | 3 hills, like young | sheep? ||
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;
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord: * at the presence of the | God of | Jacob; ||
8 Who turned the hard rock into a standing water, * and the | flint-stone • into a | springing | well. ||
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
About the Pointing
The text of the Coverdale Psalter follows the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer. The pointing, suitably adapted, is taken from Charles Macpherson, Edward C. Bairstow, and Percy C. Buck, The English Psalter (Novello & Co., 1925).
