1 When Israel came forth from Egypt, the house of Jacob from an alien people,
2 Judah became God's holy place, Israel, God's domain.
3 The sea beheld and fled; the Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams; the hills, like lambs of the flock.
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you turned back?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You hills, like lambs of the flock?
7 Tremble, earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob,
8 Who turned rock into pools of water, stone into flowing springs.
