Psalms 114 Comparison: Douay-Rheims vs King James Version

Psalms 114

¹I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.

³The sorrows of death have compassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow:

⁴And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

⁵The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

⁶The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was humbled, and he delivered me.

⁷Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

⁸For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

⁹I will please the Lord in the land of the living.

Psalms 114

¹When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

²Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

³The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

⁴The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

⁵What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

⁶Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

⁷Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

⁸Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
