1
When Israel went out of Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2
Judah became his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3
The sea saw it and fled; Jordan turned back.
4
The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
5
What 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
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 fountain of waters.
