Psalms 114
114
A Song for Passover
1Many years ago the Jewish people escaped Egypt’s tyranny,
2so that Israel, God’s people of praise, # 114:2 Or Judah, which means “praise.”
would become his holy sanctuary,
his kingdom on the earth.
3The Red Sea waters saw them coming and ran the other way!
Then later, the Jordan River too
moved aside so that they could all pass through.
4The land shuddered with fear.
Mountains and hills shook with dread. # 114:4 The literal Hebrew reads “Mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.” This does not mean they skipped with joy, but that they shook with fear, as the context reveals.
5O sea, what happened to you to make you flee?
O Jordan, what was it that made you turn and run?
6O mountains, what frightened you so?
And you hills, what made you shiver?
7Tremble, O earth, for you are in the presence of the Lord,
the presence of the God of Jacob.
8He splits open boulders and brings up bubbling water.
Gushing streams burst forth when he is near!

1 Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.
2 For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.
3 The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow.
4 And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.
5 Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.
6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.
7 Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.
8 For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping.
9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
