1

When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2

Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel His dominion.

3

The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

4

the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

5

Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

6

O mountains, that you skipped 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 turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
