The actual, original, first printing of the 1611 King James Version (‘HE’ Bible) — Psalms Chapter 114.

CHAP. CXIV.

An exhortation by the example of the dumbe creatures, to feare God in his Church.

¹ When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Iacob from a people of strange language:¹

² Iudah was his sanctuarie: and Israel his dominion.

³ The sea sawe it, and fled: Iordan was driuen backe.³

⁴ The mountaines skipped like rammes: and the little hilles like lambes.

⁵ What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Iordan, that thou wast driuen backe?

⁶ Yee mountaines, that yee skipped like rammes: and yee little hilles like lambes?

⁷ Tremble thou earth at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the God of Iacob:

⁸ Which turned the rocke into a standing water: the flint into a fountaine of waters.⁸
