O my God, my soul is in despair within me [the burden more than I can bear];
Therefore I will [fervently] remember You from the land of the Jordan
And the peaks of [Mount] Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;
A [high] mountain of many summits is Mount Bashan [rising east of the Jordan].

You broke open fountains and streams;
You dried up ever-flowing rivers.

The waters [of the Red Sea] saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were in anguish;
The deeps also trembled.

The [Red] Sea looked and fled;
The Jordan turned back.

What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
