When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 Das Meer sah es und floh, der Jordan wandte sich zurück;

The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;
4 die Berge hüpften wie Widder, die Hügel wie junge Schafe.
4
the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5 Was war dir, du Meer, daß du flohest? Du Jordan, daß du dich zurückwandtest?

Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
6 Ihr Berge, daß ihr hüpftet wie Widder? ihr Hügel, wie junge Schafe?

Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs?
7 Erbebe vor dem Herrn, du Erde, vor dem Gott Jakobs,

Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Der den Felsen verwandelte in einen Wasserteich, den Kieselfelsen in einen Wasserquell!

who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
