1 When the Israelites went out of Egypt, the people of Jacob left that foreign country.
1
When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2 Then Judah became God's holy place; Israel became the land he ruled.
2
Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The Red Sea looked and ran away; the Jordan River turned back.
3
The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;
4 The mountains danced like sheep and the hills like little lambs.
4
the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5 Sea, why did you run away? Jordan, why did you turn back?
5
Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
6 Mountains, why did you dance like sheep? Hills, why did you dance like little lambs?
6
Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs?
7 Earth, shake with fear before the Lord, before the God of Jacob.
7
Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 He turned a rock into a pool of water, a hard rock into a spring of water.
8
who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
