1 Kun Israel lähti Egyptistä, Jaakobin suku vieraskielisestä kansasta,2 silloin Juuda tuli hänen pyhäkökseen, Israel hänen valtakunnaksensa.3 Sen näki meri ja pakeni, Jordan kääntyi takaisin.4 Vuoret hyppivät niinkuin oinaat, kukkulat niinkuin lammasten karitsat.5 Mikä sinun on, meri, kun pakenet, mikä sinun, Jordan, kun käännyt takaisin?6 Te vuoret, miksi hypitte kuin oinaat, te kukkulat, kuin lammasten karitsat?7 Vapise, maa, Herran kasvojen edessä, Jaakobin Jumalan kasvojen edessä,8 joka muuttaa kallion vesilammikoksi, kovan kiven vesilähteeksi.

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.
