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.
