1 When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob’s house from a people foreign-speaking,
2 Judah became His Sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
3 The sea saw and fled, the Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5 Why was it, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back?
6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.
