1 When Israel left Egypt,

when Jacob’s family left people who spoke a foreign language,

2 Judah became his holy place and Israel became his kingdom.

3 The Red Sea looked at this and ran away.

The Jordan River turned back.

4 The mountains jumped like rams.

The hills jumped like lambs.

5 Red Sea, why did you run away?

Jordan River, what made you turn back?

6 Mountains, what made you jump like rams?

Hills, what made you jump like lambs?

7 Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord,

in the presence of the God of Jacob.

8 He turns a rock into a pool filled with water

and turns flint into a spring flowing with water.
