Psalm 114

1   When Israel went out from Egypt,
          the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2   Judah became God’s sanctuary,
          Israel his dominion.

3   The sea looked and fled;
          Jordan turned back.
4    The mountains skipped like rams,
          the hills like lambs.

5   Why is it, O sea, that you flee?
          O Jordan, that you turn back?
6    O mountains, that you skip like rams?
          O hills, like lambs?

7    Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
          at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8    who turns the rock into a pool of water,
          the flint into a spring of water.\

FOR CONSIDERATION
-Why would we look at the Psalm on Easter Sunday.......other than the fact Joe selected this text for the 1st Reading.
