1. 以色列出了埃及，雅各家离开说异语之民； When Israel went forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of unintelligible speech,
2. 那时犹大成为祂的圣所，以色列成为祂所治理的国。 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel, His dominion.
3. 沧海看见就奔逃，约但河也倒流。 The sea saw and fled; The Jordan turned back.
4. 大山踊跃如公羊，小山踊跃如羊羔。 The mountains skipped like rams, The hills, like lambs.
5. 沧海阿，你为何奔逃？约但河阿，你为何倒流？ What troubles you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?
6. 大山哪，你为何踊跃如公羊？小山哪，你为何踊跃如羊羔？ O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?
7. 大地阿，你见了主的面，就是雅各神的面，便震动； Tremble at the presence of the Lord, O earth, At the presence of the God of Jacob,
8. 祂叫磐石变为水池，叫坚石变为水泉。 Who turns the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of water.
