Majority Standard Bible

1 When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

3 The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

4 the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

5 Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

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

8 who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!

KJV

1 ¶ When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.

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;

8 Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)

From execution of the children of Israel out of Egypt.

1 When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob out of the strange nation,

2 Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw, and fled: Jordan turned back;

4 The mountains skipped like lambs, the hills like young sheep.

5 What was thine, O sea, that thou fledst? and thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back;

6 Ye mountains, that ye should leap like lambs; ye hills, like young sheep?

7 Before the LORD the earth worshippeth, before the God of Jacob,

8 Who changed the rock into a lake of water, and the stones into fountains of water.

1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)

Machine-translated from Luther's final 1545 German Bible

The LED is an English rendering of Martin Luther's final 1545 German Bible. According to BackToLuther, it was produced by using the DeepL Translator on Luther's German text, then processed, polished, formatted, and hyperlinked for reading, while preserving chapter headings and other notations from orthodox German Lutheran Bibles.
