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.
