| New International Version | King James Bible |
| 1When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, | 1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; |
| 2Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion. | 2Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. |
| 3The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back; | 3The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. |
| 4the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs. | 4The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. |
| 5Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back? | 5What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? |
| 6Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs? | 6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? |
| 7Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, | 7Tremble, thou 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. | 8Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. |
