When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

2 A hmuencim la Judah, a khohung la Israel a om pah.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

3 Tuitunli loh a hmuh vaengah rhaelrham tih, Jordan khaw a hnuk la mael.

The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;

4 Tlang rhoek khaw som rhoek kah tutal rhoek neh, boiva ca bangla na cungpet uh.

The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?

5 Tuitunli nang te bahamnim na rhaelrham, Jordan long khaw a hnuk la na mael?

What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?

6 Tlang rhoek khaw som rhoek kah tutal rhoek neh, boiva ca bangla na cungpet uh.

Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?

7 Diklai nang Boeipa mikhmuh neh, Jakob Pathen mikhmuh ah thuen lah.

Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:

8 Anih loh lungpang te tuibap tui la, hmailung khaw tuisih tui la a coeng sak.

Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
