A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#206

206. When Isr'l was from Egypt freed

1. When Isr'el was from Egypt freed,
And from strange Language Jacob's Seed;
2. Then Judah bore his sacred Name,
And King in Isr'el he became.
3. The Sea saw this; amazed fled;
Jordan drove backward to it's Head.
4. The Mountains skipt about, like Rams;
The little Hills, like frighted Lambs.

5. What all'd thee, O thou roaring Sea,
That thou, in such a Fright, did'st flee?
Wherefore old Jordan, did thy Tide,
Rowl back, and to it's Fountain glide?
6. What Terrors, ye fixt Mountains, struck;
That ye, like Rams, so skip't and shook?
Why leap't ye little Hills, like Lambs,
That fly for Shelter to their Dams?

7. Well may the Mounts, and ev'ry Flood,
Bow, and retire, before their God.
Tremble, O all the Earth, with Fear;
Jehovah, Jacob's God, is here.
8. Who, by his Pow'r, the Rocks can brake,
And turn them to a watry Lake;
From flinty dry Rocks, by a Word,
Fountains of Waters can afford.
