| 1When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, | 1When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, |
| 2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. | 2Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion. |
| 3The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back. | 3The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back; |
| 4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. | 4the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs. |
| 5What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back? | 5Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back? |
| 6O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs? | 6Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs? |
| 7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, | 7Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, |
| 8who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water. | 8who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water. |
