1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, || The house of Jacob from a strange people, 2 Judah became His sanctuary, || Israel his dominion. 3 The sea has seen, and flees, || The Jordan turns backward. 4 The mountains have skipped as rams, || Heights as sons of a flock. 5 What is [ailing] you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, you turn back! 6 O mountains, you skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock! 7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, || From before the God of Jacob, 8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, || The flint to a fountain of waters!
