When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

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

At the presence of the Lord, the earth trembles, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

The mountains skipped like rams and the little hills like lambs.

who turned the rock into a reservoir of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.

Judah was his holiness, and Israel his dominion.

What came upon thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee? And thou O Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

Ye mountains, why didst ye skip like rams and ye little hills, like lambs?
