Psalms 114

1When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

1When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

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;

2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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.

3The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back.

3The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back.

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.

4The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

4The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

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.

5What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

5What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

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?

6Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?

6Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?

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?

7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

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;

8Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.

8Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.

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.
