Psalms. 113. (114) Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people, Judea became his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs. What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? and you Jordan, that you were turned back? You° mountains, that you° skipped like rams, and you° hills, like lambs? The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
