When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

The sea saw it and fled; the Jordan turned back.

The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

The mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

What is it, sea, that you flee? Jordan, that you turn back?

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

Mountains, why do you leap like rams, and hills, like lambs?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

who turned the rock into a pool, the hard stone into a spring of water.

Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
