1 Kun Israel lähti Egyptistä, kun Jaakobin suku jätti vieraan maan,2 Herra teki Juudasta pyhäkkönsä, Israelista oman valtakuntansa.3 Meri näki tämän ja pakeni, Jordanin vedet kääntyivät takaisin.4 Vuoret hyppivät kuin karitsat, kukkulat kuin säikyt lampaat.5 Mikä sinun on, meri? Miksi pakenet? Miksi käännyt takaisin, Jordan?6 Vuoret, miksi hypitte kuin karitsat? Miksi, kukkulat, säikytte kuin lampaat?7 Vapise, maa, Herran edessä, Jaakobin Jumalan edessä!8 Hän muuttaa kallion kosteikoksi, avaa kivipaadesta vesilähteen.

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.
