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.
