Psalms 114

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 When Israel came forth from Egypt, the house of Jacob from an alien people,	1 Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.
2 Judah became God's holy place, Israel, God's domain.	2 For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.
3 The sea beheld and fled; the Jordan turned back.	3 The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow.
4 The mountains skipped like rams; the hills, like lambs of the flock.	4 And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you turned back?	5 Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You hills, like lambs of the flock?	6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.
7 Tremble, earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob,	7 Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.
8 Who turned rock into pools of water, stone into flowing springs.	8 For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping.
	9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
