1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.3 The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.4 The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.5 What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?6 You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?7 Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;8 Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.

1 Quando Israel saiu do Egito, e a casa de Jacó dentre um povo de língua estranha,2 Judá tornou-lhe o santuário, e Israel o seu domínio.3 O mar viu isto, e fugiu; o Jordão tornou atrás.4 Os montes saltaram como carneiros, e os outeiros como cordeiros do rebanho.5 Que tens tu, ó mar, para fugires? e tu, ó Jordão, para tornares atrás?6 E vós, montes, que saltais como carneiros, e vós outeiros, como cordeiros do rebanho?7 Treme, ó terra, na presença do Senhor, na presença do Deus de Jacó,8 o qual converteu a rocha em lago de águas, a pederneira em manancial.
