¹ When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

² Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³ The sea saw it, and fled; The Jordan was driven back.

⁴ The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

⁵ What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

⁶ Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?

⁷ Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,

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