Psalms 114:1

When Israel left Egypt, when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind, ² 

When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

When Israel went forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

When the Israelites escaped from Egypt––when the family of Jacob left that foreign land––

After Israel left Egypt, the clan of Jacob left those barbarians behind;

When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;

When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

When Israel went out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

When Israel left Egypt, when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind, ²
