1 When Israel came out of Egypt —the house of Jacob from a peoplewho spoke a foreign language —
2 Judah became His sanctuary,Israel, His dominion.
3 The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams,the hills, like lambs.
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?Jordan, that you turned back?
6 Mountains, that you skipped like rams?Hills, like lambs?
