1 W hen Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2 J udah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 T he sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back.

4 T he mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

5 W hat aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

6 Y e mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?

7 T remble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 W ho turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
