The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New King James Version NKJV
1 When Isra'el came out of Egypt, the house of Ya'akov from a people of foreign speech,
1
When Israel went out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Y'hudah became [God's] sanctuary, Isra'el his domain.
2
Judah became His sanctuary, And Israel His dominion.
3 The sea saw this and fled; the Yarden turned back;
3
The sea saw it and fled; Jordan turned back.
4 the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.
4
The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.
5 Why is it, sea, that you flee? Why, Yarden, do you turn back?
5
What ails you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back?
6 Why, mountains, do you skip like rams; and you hills like young sheep?
6
O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Ya'akov,
7
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, flint into flowing spring.
8
Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
