1  When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2  Judah was his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3  The sea saw it and fled, the Jordan turned back;

4  The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

5  What ailed thee, thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou turnedst back?

6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? ye hills, like lambs?

7  Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the * EloahGod of Jacob,

8  Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
