New International Version | International Standard Version |
1When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, | 1When Israel came out of Egypt— the household of Jacob from a people of foreign speech— |
2Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion. | 2Judah became his sanctuary and Israel his place of dominion. |
3The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back; | 3The sea saw this and fled, the Jordan River ran backwards, |
4the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs. | 4the mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs. |
5Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back? | 5What happened to you, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you ran backwards? |
6Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs? | 6Mountains, that you skipped like rams? and you hills, that you skipped like lambs? |
7Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, | 7Tremble then, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, |
8who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water. | 8who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flinty rock into flowing springs. |
