The Whole Booke of Psalmes ‎#67a

67a. In exitu Israel

1 When Israel by God's addresse,
from Pharaoh's land was bent:
and Jacob's house the strangers left,
and in the same traine went.
2 In Juda God his glory shewd,
his holinesse most bright:
So did the Israelites declare
his kingdome, power, and might.

3 The sea it saw and suddenly,
as all amaz'd did flie:
The roaring streames of Jordans floud
recoiled backwardly.
4 As Rams afraid, the mountaines skipt,
their strength did them forsake:
And as the silly trembling Lambs,
their tops did beate and shake.

5 What aild the sea s all amaz'd,
so suddenly to flie?
Ye rolling waves of Jordans floud,
why ran ye backwardly?
6 Why shook ye hils as Rams afraid?
why did your strength so shake?
Why did your tops as trembling Lambs,
for feare quiver and quake?

7 O earth confesse thy Sovraigne Lord
and dread his mighty hand:
Before the face of Jacobs God,
feare ye both sea and land.
8 I mean the God which from hard rocks
doth cause maine flouds appeare:
And from the stony flint doth cause
gush out the fountaines cleare.
