| New King James Version | New Living Translation |
| 1When Israel went out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language, | 1When the Israelites escaped from Egypt— when the family of Jacob left that foreign land— |
| 2Judah became His sanctuary, And Israel His dominion. | 2the land of Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom. |
| 3The sea saw it and fled; Jordan turned back. | 3The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away. |
| 4The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs. | 4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs! |
| 5What ails you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back? | 5What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away? |
| 6O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O little hills, like lambs? | 6Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs? |
| 7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob, | 7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob. |
| 8Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters. | 8He turned the rock into a pool of water; yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock. |
