1 When Israel went out of Egypt,

the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,

2 Judah became his sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled.

The Jordan was driven back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams,

the little hills like lambs.

5 What was it, you sea, that you fled?

You Jordan, that you turned back?

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams;

you little hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who turned the rock into a pool of water,

the flint into a spring of waters.

1 Quando os israelitas saíram do Egipto, dessa terra de língua estranha,

2 Judá ficou sendo o lugar do santuário de Deus, e Israel tornou-se o seu domínio.

4 As montanhas saltaram como carneiros, e as colinas como cordeirinhos!

5 Que tiveste tu, ó Mar Vermelho, para te dividires em dois? E tu, Jordão, porque é que se afastaram as tuas águas?

6 E vocês, montes e colinas, porque se puseram a saltar como as crias dum rebanho?

7 Sim, ó Terra, treme na presença do Senhor, o Deus de Jacob!

8 Ele fez brotar da dura rocha águas abundantes! Transformou uma pedreira em fontes de água!
