Psal. 114. In exitu Israel.
1
When Israel out from Egypt went,from Pharaohs heavie hand;
And Jacobs house from bondage sent,
had left that strange-tongu'd land.
2
His Sanctuary Judah led,his Scepters Israel:
3
The sea that saw, gave way and fled,and Jordan backward fell.
4
The Mountaines leap't, like high-fed Ramsamong the flockes of sheep:
The little Hills, like wanton Lambs,
like-wanton revells keep.
5
What ail'd thee, O thou sea, to flie,and leave thy corall bed?
That Jordan backe thou turn'dst, and why
revolted to thy head?
6
Ye Mountaines, that like Rams ye leap'tamong the flockes of sheep?
Like Lambs, ye ravish't Hillocks heap't,
like-raptur'd revells keep?
7
The presence of the Lord compell'd,the earth beyond her law:
Of Jacobs God the presence held
the trembling earth in awe.
8
Which from the veines of Rockes let bloud,his water-lakes doth bring:
And makes into a mighty floud,
from flint the fountaine spring.
