¹When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; ²Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His kingdom. ³The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back; ⁴the mountains skipped like rams; the little hills like lambs! ⁵What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back? ⁶O mountains, that you skip like rams? O little hills, like lambs? ⁷Tremble, O earth, from the face of the Lord, from the face of the God of Jacob; ⁸who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
