Psalm 114
- When Israel came out of Egypt:
the house of Jacob from among
the people of an alien tongue, - Judah became the Lord's temple:
and Israel became God's kingdom. - The sea fled at the sight of it:
and Jordan turned back in its course. - The mountains skipped like rams:
and the hills like yearling sheep. - Why was it that you fled O sea:
and you Jordan that you turned back. - you mountains that you skipped like rams:
and you hills like yearling sheep? - Tremble O earth at the presence of the Lord:
at the presence of the God of Jacob, - who turned the hard rock into a pool of water:
and the flint-stone into a gushing spring.
Special Prayer
May it be Your will,
O Lord our God and God of our fathers,
to cause Your Divine spirit to dwell in our midst.
O spread over us your shelter of peace,
and encircle us with Your majestic glory, holy and pure.
As for those who are hungry and thirsty,
grant them sufficient bread and water.
O grant us long life in the holy land
that we may serve You with reverence.
Praised be the Lord forever.
Amne Amen.
