New Living Translation NLT
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 When the Israelites escaped from Egypt— when the family of Jacob left that foreign land—
1
In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,
2 the land of Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom.
2
Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away.
3
The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs!
4
The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.
5 What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?
5
What -- to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!
6 Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs?
6
O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.
7
From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,
8 He turned the rock into a pool of water; yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock.
8
He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
