When Israel came out of Egypt—
the house of Jacob from a people
who spoke a foreign language—

The sea looked and fled;
the Jordan turned back.

Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,

The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills, like lambs.

who turned the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of water.

Judah became His sanctuary,
Israel, His dominion.

Why was it, sea, that you fled?
Jordan, that you turned back?

Mountains, that you skipped like rams?
Hills, like lambs?
