בְּצֵאת יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָיִם
בֵּית יַעֲקֹב מֵעַם לֹעֵז.

B'tzeyt yisrael mimitzrayim,
beyt Ya'akov meyam lo'eyzz.

When Israel came out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a land with a foreign language

הָיְתָה יְהוּדָה לְקָדְשׁוֹ
יִשְׂרָאֵל מַמְשְׁלוֹתָיו.

Haytah y'hudah l'kodsho
Yisrael mamshlotav.

Judah became God's sanctuary,
Israel God's dominion.

הַיָּם רָאָה וַיָּנֹס
הַיַּרְדֵּן יִסֹּב לְאָחוֹר.

Hayam ra'ah vayanos,
hayardeyn yisov l'akhor.

The sea looked and fled.
The Jordan turned back.

הֶהָרִים רָקְדוּ כְאֵילִים
גְּבָעוֹת כִּבְנֵי צֹאן.

Heharim rakedu kheylim,
g'vaot kivnei tzon.

The mountains leaped like rams,
The hills like rams.
