1 When Israel went out of Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,
2 Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled.
The Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams,
the little hills like lambs.
5 What was it, you sea, that you fled?
You Jordan, that you turned back?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams?
You little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of waters.
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judah was his holiness, [and] Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw [it] and fled; Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams [and] the little hills like lambs.
5 What came upon thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee? [And] thou O Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, [why didst] ye skip like rams [and] ye little hills, like lambs?
7 At the presence of the Lord, the earth trembles, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock [into] a reservoir of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.:
