Psalm 114

Toen Israël uit Egypte vertrok,
uit dat land met een andere taal,
koos God de stam van Juda uit:
in het gebied van Juda wilde Hij wonen.
Israël werd zijn koninkrijk.
De Rietzee zag het en vluchtte.
Ook de Jordaan ging aan de kant.
De bergen sprongen als bokken,
de heuvels huppelden als lammetjes.
Zee, waarom vluchtte jij?
Jordaan, waarom ging jij aan de kant?
Bergen, waarom sprongen jullie als bokken?
Heuvels, waarom huppelden jullie als lammetjes?
Beef, aarde, voor de Heer.
Beef voor de God van Jakob.
Hij veranderde de rots in een rivier,
de steen in een waterbron.

Psalm 114

When Israel came out of Egypt,(A)
    Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
Judah(B) became God’s sanctuary,(C)
    Israel his dominion.

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

Why was it, sea, that you fled?(G)
    Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,
    you hills, like lambs?

Tremble, earth,(H) at the presence of the Lord,
    at the presence of the God of Jacob,
who turned the rock into a pool,
    the hard rock into springs of water.(I)

114 I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.

The sorrows of death have encompassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow:

And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was little and he delivered me.

Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

I will please the Lord in the land of the living.

The Power of God in His Deliverance of Israel(A)

114 When (B)Israel went out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob (C)from a people [a]of strange language,
(D)Judah became His sanctuary,
And Israel His dominion.

(E)The sea saw it and fled;
(F)Jordan turned back.
(G)The mountains skipped like rams,
The little hills like lambs.
(H)What ails you, O sea, that you fled?
O Jordan, that you turned back?
O mountains, that you skipped like rams?
O little hills, like lambs?

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob,
(I)Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of waters.
