1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange 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 ails thee, O thou sea, that thou flee? Thou Jordan, that thou turn back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, ye little hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
