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