O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill 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 sea looked and fled;
the Jordan turned back.

Why was it, sea, that you fled?
Jordan, that you turned back?
