1When the Israelites escaped from Egypt— when the family of Jacob left that foreign land— | 1When Israel went forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language, |
2the land of Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom. | 2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel, His dominion. |
3The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away. | 3The sea looked and fled; The Jordan turned back. |
4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs! | 4The mountains skipped like rams, The hills, like lambs. |
5What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away? | 5What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back? |
6Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs? | 6O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs? |
7Tremble, O 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, |
8He turned the rock into a pool of water; yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock. | 8Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of water. |
