"What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?"
— Psalms 114:5, World English Bible
“What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?”
“What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest 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 was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?
Tremble, you 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 spring of waters.
