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.
