Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign 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 was driven back.
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 little hills like lambs.
4And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.
5What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
5The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.
6You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?
6The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was little and he delivered me.
7Tremble, you 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 spring of waters.
8For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
