"What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back? "
— Psalms 114:5, American Standard Version
“What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?”
“What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?”
“Why do you flee, O sea? Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?”
“The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.”
“What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?”
“What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?”
Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back.
The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.
What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?
Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,
Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
