The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 114 of Psalms. Psalm 114 poetically portrays the exodus through personified images of nature. The sea flees, the Jordan turns back, and the mountains leap before the presence of the God of Jacob. Creation responds to the God who delivers his people. The transformation of the rock into water recalls provision in the wilderness and summarizes an exodus theology in which the Lord rules both waters and land to sustain Israel.

Das Meer sah es und floh; der Jordan wandte sich zurück;
La mar vio, y huyó; El Jordán se volvió atrás.
El mar lo vio y huyó; el Jordán se volvió atrás.
La mer le vit et s'enfuit, Le Jourdain retourna en arrière;
Il mare lo vide, e fuggì; Il Giordano si rivolse a ritroso.
O mar viu isto, e fugiu; o Jordão voltou para trás.
滄海看見就奔逃, 約旦河 也倒流。
