Psalm 114:5–7

5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?

Why, Jordan, did you turn back?

6 Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,

you hills, like lambs?

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

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest?

Thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams;

And ye little hills, like lambs?

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

At the presence of the God of Jacob;

5 What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way?

What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?

6 Why, mountains, did you skip like rams?

Why, hills, like lambs?

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

at the presence of the God of Jacob.

5 What ails you, O sea, that you fled?

O Jordan, that you turned back?

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams?

O little hills, like lambs?

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

At the presence of the God of Jacob,

5 Sea, why did you run away?

Jordan, why did you turn back?

6 Mountains, why did you dance like sheep?

Hills, why did you dance like little lambs?

7 Earth, shake with fear before the Lord,

before the God of Jacob.

5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest?

Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams;

Ye little hills, like lambs?

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

At the presence of the God of Jacob,

5 What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back? 6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs? 7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the †God of Jacob,

5 Red Sea, why did you run away? 

Jordan River, what made you turn back? 

6 Mountains, what made you jump like rams? 

Hills, what made you jump like lambs? 

7 Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, 

in the presence of the God of Jacob. 

5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?

Jordan, that you turned back?

6 Mountains, that you skipped like rams?

Hills, like lambs?

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

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

5 Why is it, O sea, that you flee?

O Jordan, that you turn back?

6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

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

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

5 What’s with you, O sea, that you fled?

O Jordan, that you turned back?

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

7 At the presence of the Lord writhe, O earth,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

5 Red Sea, why did you part?

Jordan River, why did you stop flowing?

6 Why did you mountains leap like rams?

Why did you hills skip like lambs?

7 Earth, tremble with fear when the Lord comes.

Tremble when the God of Jacob is near.

5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee?

O Jordan, that you turn back?

6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, O earth, before the Lord,

Before the God of Jacob,
