1When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, | 1When Israel went forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language, |
2Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion. | 2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel, His dominion. |
3The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back; | 3The sea looked and fled; The Jordan turned back. |
4the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs. | 4The mountains skipped like rams, The hills, like lambs. |
5Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back? | 5What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back? |
6Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs? | 6O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs? |
7Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, | 7Tremble, O earth, before the Lord, Before 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 flint into a fountain of water. |
