114Psalms

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

A Passover Song. Psalm 114(v113)
2 Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.

 
3 The sea looked and fled,
Jordan turned back.

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

 
5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?

 
6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?

 
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of Yahweh,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,

 
8 who turns the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water.

 
    << | Ps:114 | >>  

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes ?
