1 When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,2 Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion.3 The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back.4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.5 Why is it, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?6 O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob,8 who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.
