1 - When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 - Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

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

4 - the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs.

5 - Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back?

6 - Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs?

7 - Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 - who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
