(1) When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from among a foreign-speaking people, (2) Judah became His holiness, and Israel became His possession. 3 The sea saw and fled, and the Jordan turned back. (4) The mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs. (5) What is the matter with you, O sea, that you have fled, and you, Jordan, why have you turned back? (6) Mountains, why did you jump like rams, and you, hills, like lambs? (7) At the face of the Lord the earth trembled, at the face of the Almighty (God) Yaakov, (8) who turns a rock into a lake of water, and a flint into a fountain of water.

(1) Not to us, O God, not to us, but to Thy name give glory for the sake of Thy mercy, for the sake of Thy truth. Why do the nations say, "Where is their Almighty?" (3) Our Almighty in heaven does whatever He wills. (4) And their idols are of silver and gold, the works of human hands. (5) Their lips do not speak, their eyes do not see. (6) They have ears, but they do not hear, they have nostrils, but they do not smell. (7) They have hands, but they do not touch, they have legs, but they do not walk, they do not utter their voices with their throats. (8) Let those who make them be like them, everyone who trusts in them. (9) Israel, trust in God! He is salvation and stronghold! (10) House of Aharon, trust in God! He is salvation and stronghold! (11) You who revere God, trust in God! He is salvation and stronghold! (12) God, remembering us, will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aharon. (13) He will bless those who revere God, small and large. (14) God will multiply you again and again, you and your children. (15) Blessed are you in the sight of God, who created the heavens and the earth. (16) The heavens, the heavens of God, and the earth he gave to the sons of men. (17) It is not the dead who praise God, nor those who go down to the grave. (18) But we will bless God from now on and forever. Praise God!
