Psalms 114

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow.3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping.8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
