1
When Israel came out of Egypt,
the house of 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 skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5
Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,
6
you mountains, that you skipped like rams, you 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, the hard rock into springs of water.
who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
