NIVNew International Version (2011)

The sea looked and fled,

the Jordan turned back;

the mountains leaped like rams,

the hills like lambs.

Why was it, sea, that you fled?

Why, Jordan, did you turn back?

Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,

you hills, like lambs?

Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

who turned the rock into a pool,

the hard rock into springs of water.

Jordan, that you turned back?

Mountains, that you skipped like rams?

Hills, like lambs?

Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

the flint into a spring.

NLTNew Living Translation

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!

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

What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?

Why, mountains, did you skip like rams?

Why, hills, like lambs?

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

at the presence of the God of Jacob.

He turned the rock into a pool of water;

yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

The sea looked and fled;

the Jordan turned back.

The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs.

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

O Jordan, that you turned back?

O mountains, that you skipped like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

At the presence of the Lord writhe, O earth,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

who turned the rock into a pool of water,

flinty stone into a spring of water.

KJV 1900King James Version

The sea saw it, and fled:

Jordan was driven back.

The mountains skipped like rams,

And the little hills like lambs.

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

Thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams;

And ye little hills, like lambs?

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

At the presence of the God of Jacob;

Which turned the rock into a standing water,

The flint into a fountain of waters.
