Psalms 114
1The titil of the hundrid and fourtenthe salm. Alleluia. I louede `the Lord; for the Lord schal here the vois of my preier.
2For he bowide doun his eere to me; and Y schal inwardli clepe in my daies.
3The sorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the perelis of helle founden me.
4I foond tribulacioun and sorewe; and Y clepide inwardli the name of the Lord. Thou, Lord, delyuere my soule;
5the Lord is merciful, and iust; and oure God doith merci.
6And the Lord kepith litle children; Y was mekid, and he delyuerede me.
7Mi soule, turne thou in to thi reste; for the Lord hath do wel to thee.
8For he hath delyuered my soule fro deth; myn iyen fro wepingis, my feet fro fallyng doun.
9I schal plese the Lord; in the cuntrei of hem that lyuen.
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.
