New Living Translation | International Standard Version |
1When the Israelites escaped from Egypt— when the family of Jacob left that foreign land— | 1When Israel came out of Egypt— the household of Jacob from a people of foreign speech— |
2the land of Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom. | 2Judah became his sanctuary and Israel his place of dominion. |
3The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away. | 3The sea saw this and fled, the Jordan River ran backwards, |
4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs! | 4the mountains skipped like rams, and 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 happened to you, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you ran backwards? |
6Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs? | 6Mountains, that you skipped like rams? and you hills, that you skipped like lambs? |
7Tremble, O 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, |
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 flinty rock into flowing springs. |
