After Israel left Egypt, the clan of Jacob left those barbarians behind; Judah became holy land for him, Israel the place of holy rule. Sea took one look and ran the other way; River Jordan turned around and ran off. The mountains turned playful and skipped like rams, the hills frolicked like spring lambs. What’s wrong with you, Sea, that you ran away? and you, River Jordan, that you turned and ran off? And mountains, why did you skip like rams? and you, hills, frolic like spring lambs? Tremble, Earth! You’re in the Lord’s presence! in the presence of Jacob’s God. He turned the rock into a pool of cool water, turned flint into fresh spring water.

The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, And the little hills like lambs.

The sea looked and fled; The Jordan turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, The hills, like lambs.

The Red Sea looked and ran away; the Jordan River turned back. The mountains danced like sheep and the hills like little lambs.

The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back; the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs.

The sea saw it and fled; Jordan turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

¶The [Red] Sea looked and fled; The Jordan turned back. [Ex 14:21; Josh 3:13, 16; Ps 77:16] The mountains leaped like rams, The [little] hills, like lambs.

The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away. The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs!

The Red Sea waters saw them coming and ran the other way! Then later, the Jordan River too moved aside so that they could all pass through. The land shuddered with fear. Mountains and hills shook with dread.

The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
