1 The people of Israel came out of Egypt. The people of Jacob left a land where a different language was spoken.
2 Then Judah became the holy place where God lived. Israel became the land he ruled over.
3 The Red Sea saw him and parted. The Jordan River stopped flowing.
4 The mountains leaped like rams. The hills skipped like lambs.
5 Red Sea , why did you part? Jordan River , why did you stop flowing?
6 Why did you mountains leap like rams? Why did you hills skip like lambs?
7 Earth, tremble with fear when the Lord comes. Tremble when the God of Jacob is near.
