1 When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2 Judah became God’s sanctuary, and 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!
