Psalms 114

NEW JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Al eluia! When Israel came out of Egypt, the House of Jacob from a people of foreign speech,	1 Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.
2 Judah became his sanctuary, and Israel his domain.	2 For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.
3 The sea fled at the sight, 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 hil s like sheep.	4 And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.
5 Sea, what makes you flee? Jordan, why turn back?	5 Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.
6 Why skip like rams, you mountains? Why like sheep, you hills?	6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.
7 Tremble, earth, at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the God of Jacob,	7 Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.
8 who turns rock into pool, flint into fountain.	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.
