Psalm 114, Chant B

114 In exitu Israel

1 Hallelujah! When Israel came out of E-gypt, *
the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech,

2 Judah became God’s sanctu-a-ry *
and Israel his do-min-ion.

3 The sea beheld it and fled; *
Jordan turned and went back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, *
and the little hills like young sheep.

5 What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? *
O Jordan, that you turned back?

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? *
you little hills like young sheep?

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, *
at the presence of the God of Ja-cob,

8 Who turned the hard rock into a pool of wa-ter *
and flint-stone into a flow-ing spring.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. A-men.
