1. When Israel came forth from Egypt,the house of Jacob from an alien people,
2. Judah became God’s sanctuary,Israel, God’s domain.
3. The sea saw and fled;the Jordan turned back.
4. The mountains skipped like rams;the hills, like lambs.
5. Why was it, sea, that you fled?Jordan, that you turned back?
6. Mountains, that you skipped like rams?You hills, like lambs?
7. Tremble, earth, before the Lord,before the God of Jacob,
8. Who turned the rock into pools of water,flint into a flowing spring.
