1 以色列出了埃及，雅各家離開說異言之民；

2 那時，猶大為主的聖所，以色列為他所治理的國度。

3 滄海看見就奔逃；約旦河也倒流。

4 大山踴躍，如公羊；小山跳舞，如羊羔。

5 滄海啊，你為何奔逃？約旦哪，你為何倒流？

6 大山哪，你為何踴躍，如公羊？小山哪，你為何跳舞，如羊羔？

7 大地啊，你因見主的面，就是雅各神的面，便要震動。

8 他叫磐石變為水池，叫堅石變為泉源。

It recalls Israel's exodus from Egypt (v.1) and is retold through poetic imagery: "the sea saw it, and fled," and "Jordan was driven back" (v.3).

V.4 pictures the mountains skipping "like rams" and the hills "like lambs," dramatizing creation's trembling response to God's presence.

V.8 reads, "which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters," recalling God providing water out of rock.

Yonder is the sea, great and wide, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts.
