3 The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;
3
The sea saw this and fled; the Yarden turned back;
4 the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs.
4
the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
5
Why is it, sea, that you flee? Why, Yarden, do you turn back?
6 Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs?
6
Why, mountains, do you skip like rams; and you hills like young sheep?
7 Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
7
Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Ya'akov,
8 who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
8
who turned the rock into a pool of water, flint into flowing spring.
