Chapter 113

God hath shewn his power in delivering his people: idols are vain. (The Hebrews divide this into two psalms.)

1. 1

   Alleluia.

2. 2

   Judea was made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3. 3

   The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4. 4

   The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5. 5

   What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6. 6

   Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7. 7

   At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8. 8

   Who turned the rock into pools of waters, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
