1When Israel went forth from Egypt,
         The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2Judah became His sanctuary,
         Israel, His dominion.

3The sea looked and fled;
         The Jordan turned back.

4The mountains skipped like rams,
         The hills, like lambs.

5What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
         O Jordan, that you turn back?

6O mountains, that you skip like rams?
         O hills, like lambs?

7Tremble, O earth, before the Lord,
         Before the God of Jacob,

8Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
         The flint into a fountain of water.
