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 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 hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

5 What -- to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

6 O mountains, ye 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!
