1 ¶ When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 J udah was his holiness, and Israel his dominion.

3 T he sea saw it and fled; Jordan was driven back.

4 T he mountains skipped like rams and the little hills like lambs.

5 W hat came upon thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee? And thou O Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

6 Y e mountains, why didst ye skip like rams and ye little hills, like lambs?

7 A t the presence of the Lord, the earth trembles, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 w ho turned the rock into a reservoir of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
