1 WHEN Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a foreign language,

2 Judah was his sanctuary and Israel his glory.

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

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs of the flock.

5 What ails you, O you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you were driven back?

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; and you hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 Tremble, earth, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

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