When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan turned backward.
The mountains skipped like rams, The hills like young sheep.
What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?
Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye hills, like young sheep?
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob;
Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
