Inexitu Israel. Psal. cxiv.
WHen Israel by Gods address
from Pharaohs land was bent:
And Jacobs house the strangers left,
and in the same train went:
[verse 2] In Judah God his glory shew••d,
his ••oliness most bright:
So did the Israelites declare
his kingdom, power, and might.
[verse 3] The sea it saw, and suddenly
as all amaz••d did fl••e
The roaring streams of Jordans floud
recoyled backwa••dly.
[verse 4] As rams afraid, the mountains skipt,
their strength did them forsake:
And as the filly trembling lambs,
their tops did beat and shake.
[verse 5] What ail'd the sea, as allamaz'd,
so suddenly to flee?
Ye rolling waves of Jordans floud,
why ran ye backwardly?
[verse 6] Why shook ye hills, as rams afraid?
why did your strength so shake?
Why did your tops, as trembling lambs,
for fear quiver and quake?
[verse 7] O earth, confess thy sovereign Lord,
and dread his mighty hand:
Before the face of Jacobs God
fear ye both sea and land.
[verse 8] I mean the God, which from hard rocks
doth cause main flouds appear:
And from the stony flint doth cause
gush out the fountains clear.
