1. When Israel left Egypt,when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,
2. Judah became his sanctuary,Israel his kingdom.
3. The sea looked and fled;the Jordan River turned back.
4. The mountains skipped like rams,the hills like lambs.
5. Why do you flee, O sea?Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?
6. Why do you skip like rams, O mountains,like lambs, O hills?
7. Tremble, O earth, before the Lord – before the God of Jacob,
8. who turned a rock into a pool of water,a hard rock into springs of water!
