Psalm 114

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

²Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

⁴The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like young sheep.

⁵What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

⁶Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye little hills, like young sheep?

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

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

¹Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

²Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God?

³But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

⁵They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

⁶They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;

⁷They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they through their throat.

⁸They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.

⁹O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust ye in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

¹¹Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

¹²The LORD hath been mindful of us; he will bless us: he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.

¹³He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.

¹⁴The LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.

¹⁵Blessed are ye of the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

¹⁶The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

¹⁷The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence;

¹⁸But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye the LORD.

¹I LOVE the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

³The cords of death compassed me, and the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

⁵Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

⁶The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.

⁷Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

⁸For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

⁹I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

¹⁰I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:

¹¹I said in my haste, All men are a lie.

¹²What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

¹³I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

¹⁴I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people.

¹⁵Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

¹⁶O LORD, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thine handmaid; thou hast loosed my bonds.

¹⁷I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.

¹⁸I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all his people.

¹⁹In the courts of the LORD’S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
