¹When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, ²Judah was His sanctuary, and Israel was His kingdom. ³The sea saw it and fled; Jordan was driven back. ⁴The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. ⁵What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back, ⁶O mountains that skipped like rams, O little hills like lambs? ⁷Earth, tremble at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob, ⁸who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
