1 When Israel came out of Egypt the household of Jacob from a people of foreign speech
2 Judah became his sanctuary and Israel his place of dominion.
3 The sea saw this and fled, the Jordan River ran backwards,
4 the mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.
5 What happened to you, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you ran backwards?
6 Mountains, that you skipped like rams? And you hills, that you skipped like lambs?
7 Tremble then, 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 flinty rock into flowing springs.
