Psalm 114

English Standard Version

Tremble at the Presence of the Lord

114 When ^(A)Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from ^(B)a people of strange language,
²Judah became his ^(C)sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.

³^(D)The sea looked and fled;
^(E)Jordan turned back.
⁴^(F)The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.

⁵What ^(G)ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
⁶O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?

⁷^(H)Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
⁸who turns ^(I)the rock into ^(J)a pool of water,
^(K)the flint into a spring of water.

The Song of Moses

15 Then Moses and the people of Israel ^(A)sang this song to the Lord, saying,

^(B)“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
    the horse and his rider^[a] he has thrown into the sea.
²^(C)The Lord is my strength and my ^(D)song,
    and he has become ^(E)my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
    ^(F)my father's God, and ^(G)I will exalt him.
³The Lord is ^(H)a man of war;
    ^(I)the Lord is his name.

⁴^(J)“Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast into the sea,
    and his chosen ^(K)officers were sunk in the Red Sea.
⁵The ^(L)floods covered them;
    they ^(M)went down into the depths like a stone.
⁶^(N)Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power,
    your right hand, O Lord, ^(O)shatters the enemy.
⁷In the ^(P)greatness of your majesty you overthrow your adversaries;
    you send out your fury; it ^(Q)consumes them like stubble.
⁸At the ^(R)blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;
    the ^(S)floods stood up in a heap;
    the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.
⁹The enemy said, ^(T)‘I will pursue, I will overtake,
    I ^(U)will divide the spoil, my desire shall have its fill of them.
    I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
¹⁰You ^(V)blew with your wind; the ^(W)sea covered them;
    they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

¹¹^(X)“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
awesome in ^(Y)glorious deeds, ^(Z)doing wonders?

The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

²¹Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often ^(A)will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? ^(B)As many as seven times?” ²²Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.

²³“Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished ^(C)to settle accounts with his servants.^[a] ²⁴When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ^(D)ten thousand ^(E)talents.^[b] ²⁵^(F)And since he could not pay, his master ordered him ^(G)to be sold, with his wife and ^(H)children and all that he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶So the servant^[c] ^(I)fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ ²⁷And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and ^(J)forgave him the debt. ²⁸But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred ^(K)denarii,^[d] and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’ ²⁹So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ ³⁰He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. ³¹When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. ³²Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. ³³^(L)And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ ³⁴^(M)And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers,^[e] ^(N)until he should pay all his debt. ³⁵^(O)So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother ^(P)from your heart.”
