Psalm 111: a 21st Century Translation (Glazer)

from THE OPEN DOOR (2001) S.L. Elwell, editor (Central Conference of American Rabbis):
Halleluyah!
Sing praises to God, O servants of the Holy One.
May God's name be praised now and forever.
From the rising of the sun to its setting,
From east and to west, God's name is praised.
Greater than all the nations is the Wondrous One,
God's glory surpasses heaven.
Who is like our God, enthroned on high?
You are present in the most humble dwellings,
Surveying both heaven and earth.
You raise the lowly from the dust, the needy from the ash-heap;
You seat them with the generous ones, those with open hearts.
You give a place of honor to those who create a home.
Let the ones who nurture children rejoice:
Halleluyah!

When Israel went forth from Egypt,
When the house of Jacob emerged from a babel of tongues,
Judah became God's dwelling place,
Israel, God's dominion.
The sea looked and fled,
The Jordan looked back.
The mountains danced like lambs,
The hills like young sheep.
Why do you flee, O sea?
O Jordan, why do you change your course?
Why do you frolic, O mountains?
Why do the hills tremble?
In God's presence, the earth moves
Before the God of Jacob.
You transform  rocks into pools of water,
You turn flint to flowing springs.
