| 1 When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, |
| 2 Judah became God's 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 Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back, |
| 6 you mountains, that you skipped like rams, you 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 hard rock into springs of water. |
