ESVEnglish Standard Version

When the waters saw you, O God,

when the waters saw you, they were afraid;

indeed, the deep trembled.

The clouds poured out water;

the skies gave forth thunder;

your arrows flashed on every side.

The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;

your lightnings lighted up the world;

the earth trembled and shook.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The waters saw you, God,

the waters saw you and writhed;

the very depths were convulsed.

The clouds poured down water,

the heavens resounded with thunder;

your arrows flashed back and forth.

Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,

your lightning lit up the world;

the earth trembled and quaked.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The water saw you, God.

The water saw you; it trembled.

Even the depths shook.

The clouds poured down water.

The storm clouds thundered;

your arrows flashed back and forth.

The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind;

lightning lit up the world.

The earth shook and quaked.

NLTNew Living Translation

When the Red Sea saw you, O God,

its waters looked and trembled!

The sea quaked to its very depths.

The clouds poured down rain;

the thunder rumbled in the sky.

Your arrows of lightning flashed.

Your thunder roared from the whirlwind;

the lightning lit up the world!

The earth trembled and shook.

KJV 1900King James Version

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid:

The depths also were troubled.

The clouds poured out water:

The skies sent out a sound:

Thine arrows also went abroad.

The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven:

The lightnings lightened the world:

The earth trembled and shook.
