The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

5 Ɛdeɛn na ɛbaeɛ, Ao ɛpo, na wodwaneeɛ, Ao Yordan, na wosanee wʼakyi,

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan [Descender], 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 [Supplanter],
