King James Version KJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
1
When the Israelites escaped from Egypt— when the family of Jacob left that foreign land—
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
2
the land of Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
3
The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
4
The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs!
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
5
What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
6
Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
7
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, 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
He turned the rock into a pool of water; yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock.
