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, A casa de Jacó, dentre povo de língua estranha;2 Judá tornou-se-lhe o santuário, Israel, o seu domínio.3 O mar viu isto, e fugiu; O Jordão fugiu para trás.4 Os montes saltaram como carneiros, As colinas como cordeiros do rebanho.5 Que tens tu, ó mar, para fugires? E tu, ó Jordão, para recuares?6 Vós, montes, que saltais como carneiros; Vós, colinas, como cordeiros do rebanho?7 Treme, terra, na presença do Senhor, Na presença do Deus de Jacó,8 O qual converteu a rocha em lago de água, O seixo em fonte de água.
