¹ When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

² Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His kingdom.

³ The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back;

⁴ the mountains skipped like rams; the little hills like lambs!

⁵ What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?

⁶ O mountains, that you skip like rams? O little hills, like lambs?

⁷ Tremble, O earth, from the face of the Lord, from the face of the God of Jacob;

⁸ who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
