1 When Israel came out of Egypt, ♦︎
the house of Jacob from a people of a strange tongue,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, ♦︎
Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw that, and fled; ♦︎
Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, ♦︎
the little hills like young sheep.
5 What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? ♦︎
O Jordan, that you were driven back?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams, ♦︎
you little hills like young sheep?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, ♦︎
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Who turns the hard rock into a pool of water, ♦︎
the flint-stone into a springing well.
