Psalm 114[a]
The Lord’s Wonders at the Exodus
1 When Israel came forth from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from an alien people,
2 Judah became God’s sanctuary,
Israel, God’s domain.(A)
3 [b]The sea saw and fled;
the Jordan turned back.(B)
4 The mountains skipped like rams;
the hills, like lambs.(C)
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?
Jordan, that you turned back?
6 Mountains, that you skipped like rams?
You hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, earth, before the Lord,(D)
before the God of Jacob,
8 [c]Who turned the rock into pools of water,
flint into a flowing spring.(E)
19 When Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen entered the sea, the Lord made the waters of the sea flow back upon them, though the Israelites walked on dry land through the midst of the sea.(A) 20 Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, while all the women went out after her with tambourines, dancing; 21 and she responded[a] to them:
Sing to the Lord, for he is gloriously triumphant;
horse and chariot he has cast into the sea.(B)
7 [a]In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words.[b] 8 Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
The Lord’s Prayer. 9 [c]“This is how you are to pray:(A)
Our Father in heaven,[d]
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,[e]
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.(B)
11 [f](C)Give us today our daily bread;
12 and forgive us our debts,[g]
as we forgive our debtors;(D)
13 and do not subject us to the final test,[h]
but deliver us from the evil one.(E)
14 [i]If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you.(F) 15 But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.(G)
