JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
1When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.
2Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
3The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;
3The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.
4the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.
5Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,
5What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?
6O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?
6Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; ye hills, like young sheep?
7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
8Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
