King James Version KJV
Good News Translation GNT
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
1
When the people of Israel left Egypt, when Jacob's descendants left that foreign land,
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
2
Judah became the Lord's holy people, Israel became his own possession.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
3
The Red Sea looked and ran away; the Jordan River stopped flowing.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
4
The mountains skipped like goats; the hills jumped around like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
5
What happened, Sea, to make you run away? And you, O Jordan, why did you stop flowing?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
6
You mountains, why did you skip like goats? You hills, why did you jump around like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
7
Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
8
who changes rocks into pools of water and solid cliffs into flowing springs.
