1
When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2
Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3
The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;
4
the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5
Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
6
Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs?
7
Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of God of Jacob,
8
who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
