1 When Israel went forth 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.
