Psalms 114 Comparison: Geneva Bible 1599 vs King James Version

Psalms 114

¹When Israel went out of Egypt, and the house of Iaakob from the barbarous people,

²Iudah was his sanctification, and Israel his dominion.

³The Sea sawe it and fled: Iorden was turned backe.

⁴The mountaines leaped like rams, and the hils as lambes.

⁵What ailed thee, O Sea, that thou fleddest? O Iorden, why wast thou turned backe?

⁶Ye mountaines, why leaped ye like rams, and ye hils as lambes?

⁷The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Iaakob,

⁸Which turneth the rocke into waterpooles, and the flint into a fountaine of water.

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.
