New International Version | Berean Study Bible |
1When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, | 1When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, |
2Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion. | 2Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion. |
3The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back; | 3The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back; |
4the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs. | 4the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. |
5Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back? | 5Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back, |
6Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs? | 6O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs? |
7Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, | 7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, |
8who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water. | 8who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water! |
