1 W hen Israel went out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2 J udah became His sanctuary, And Israel His dominion.

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

4 T he mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

5 W hat ails you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back?

6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O little hills, like lambs?

7 T remble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 W ho turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
