[1] When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

[2] Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

[3] The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

[4] the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

[5] Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,

[6] O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?

[7] Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

[8] who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
