| | 1 | 以色列出了埃及、雅各家離開說異言之民．
When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, | |
| | 2 | 那時猶大為主的聖所、以色列為他所治理的國度。
Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion. | |
| | 3 | 滄海看見就奔逃、約但河也倒流。
The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back; | |
| | 4 | 大山踴躍如公羊、小山跳舞如羊羔。
the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. | |
| | 5 | 滄海阿、你為何奔逃．約但哪你為何倒流．
Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back, | |
| | 6 | 大山哪、你為何踴躍如公羊．小山哪、你為何跳舞如羊羔。
you mountains, that you skipped like rams, you hills, like lambs? | |
| | 7 | 大地阿、你因見主的面、就是雅各 神的面、便要震動。
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, | |
| | 8 | 他叫磐石變為水池、叫堅石變為泉源。
who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water. | |
