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.
