| 4the mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs. | 4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. |
| 5What happened to you, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you ran backwards? | 5Why do you flee, O sea? Why do you turn back, O Jordan River? |
| 6Mountains, that you skipped like rams? and you hills, that you skipped like lambs? | 6Why do you skip like rams, O mountains, like lambs, O hills? |

| 8who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flinty rock into flowing springs. | 8who turned a rock into a pool of water, a hard rock into springs of water! |
