Psalms 114
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1When Israel came 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.
2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.
3The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.
3The sorrows of death have encompassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow:
4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.
4And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.
5What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?
5The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.
6Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?
6The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was little and he delivered me.
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.
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.
