Psalms 114

1I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

1When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

1In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.

2Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.

2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3The sorrows of death have compassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow:

3The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.

3The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

4And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

4The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.

4The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

5The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

5What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?

5What--to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

6The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was humbled, and he delivered me.

6You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?

6O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

7Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

7Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;

7From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

8For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

8Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.

8He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!

9I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
