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 בְּצֵאת יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָיִם בֵּית יַעֲקֹב מֵעַם לֹעֵז׃

2 הָיְתָה יְהוּדָה לְקָדְשֹׁו יִשְׂרָאֵל מַמְשְׁלֹותָיו׃

3 הַיָּם רָאָה וַיָּנֹס הַיַּרְדֵּן יִסֹּב לְאָחֹור׃

4 הֶהָרִים רָקְדוּ כְאֵילִים גְּבָעֹות כִּבְנֵי־צֹאן׃

5 מַה־לְּךָ הַיָּם כִּי תָנוּס הַיַּרְדֵּן תִּסֹּב לְאָחֹור׃

6 הֶהָרִים תִּרְקְדוּ כְאֵילִים גְּבָעֹות כִּבְנֵי־צֹאן׃

7 מִלִּפְנֵי אָדֹון חוּלִי אָרֶץ מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלֹוהַּ יַעֲקֹב׃

8 הַהֹפְכִי הַצּוּר אֲגַם־מָיִם חַלָּמִישׁ לְמַעְיְנֹו־מָיִם׃
