1 When Israel went forth from Egypt,

The house of Jacob from a people of a foreign language,

2 Judah became His 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 What ails you, sea, that you flee?

Jordan, that you turn back?

6 Mountains, that you skip like rams?

Hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, earth, before the Lord,

Before the God of Jacob,

8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water,

The flint into a fountain of water.
