1  When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

2  Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

3  The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

4  The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

5  What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

6  Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

7  Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8  Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
