- 1
- When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
- 2
- Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
- 3
- The sea saw it, and fled;
The Jordan was driven back.
- 4
- The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.
- 5
- What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest?
Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?
- 6
- Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams;
Ye little hills, like lambs?
- 7
- Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,
- 8
- Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
