1When Israel went out of Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judah was his sanctuary,
and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled:
Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams,
and the little hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest?
thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams;
and ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the LORD,
at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water,
the flint into a fountain of waters.
