WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 A través del éxodo de Israel desde Egipto, cuando los descendientes de Jacob salieron de aquella nación extranjera,
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,
2 la tierra de Judá se convirtió en el santuario del Señor, Israel su reino.
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 El mar rojo los vio y huyó; el río Jordán también se retiró.
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
4 Las montañas brincaron como carneros, los cerros saltaron como ovejas.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
5 Oh, Mar Rojo, ¿Por qué huiste? Río Jordán, ¿Por qué volviste a atrás?
5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
6 Montañas, ¿Por qué saltaron alarmadas? Montes, ¿Por qué se asustaron como ovejas?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?
7 Tierra, tiembla ante la presencia del Señor, ¡Tiembla ante la presencia del Dios de Jacob!
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Él es el único que puede convertir una roca en manantial de aguas; y hacer brotar el agua de piedras solidas.
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    When ye hear sung in the Psalms, "Praise the Lord, ye children" (ver. 1); imagine not that that exhortation pertaineth not unto you, because having already passed the youth of the body, ye are either blooming in the prime of manhood, or growing gray with the honours of old age: for unto all of you the Apostle saith, "Brethren, be …

  4. Quotes verse 114:3 John of Damascus, An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith (Book II, Chapters IV–VI)

    For the Scripture is familiar with the figure of personification, and is wont to speak of inanimate things as though they were animate: for example, The sea saw it and fled: Jordan was driven back.
