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
