1 When Israel went forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel, His dominion.3 The sea looked and fled; The Jordan turned back.4 The mountains skipped like rams, The hills, like lambs.5 What ails you, 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, before the Lord, Before the God of Jacob,8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of water.
