              1 QUANDO Israele uscì di Egitto, E la casa di Giacobbe d’infra il popolo barbaro;
            
            
                1
When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,            
            
              2 Giuda fu consacrato al Signore, Israele divenne suo dominio.
            
            
                2
Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion.            
            
              3 Il mare lo vide, e fuggì; Il Giordano si rivolse a ritroso.
            
            
                3
The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;            
            
              4 I monti saltarono come montoni, I colli come agnelli.
            
            
                4
the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs.            
            
              5 Che avesti, o mare, che tu fuggisti? E tu, Giordano, che ti rivolgesti a ritroso?
            
            
                5
Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back?            
            
              6 E voi, monti, che saltaste come montoni; E voi, colli, come agnelli?
            
            
                6
Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs?            
            
              7 Trema, o terra, per la presenza del Signore; Per la presenza dell’Iddio di Giacobbe;
            
            
                7
Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,            
            
              8 Il quale mutò la roccia in guazzo d’acqua, Il macigno in fonte d’acqua.
            
            
                8
who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
