When Israel left Egypt, when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,
The sea looked and fled; the Jordan River turned back.
Tremble, O earth, before the Lord -- before the God of Jacob,
The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
who turned a rock into a pool of water, a hard rock into springs of water!
Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.
Why do you flee, O sea? Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?
