1 When Israel went forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people barbarous; 2 [Then] was Judah for his holiness, Israel, his dominions. 3 The sea saw, and fled, Jordan was turned backward. 4 The mountains leaped as rams, The hills as the lambs of the flock. 5 What ailed thee, O sea! that thou fleddest? And thou, O Jordan! that thou wast turned back? 6 Ye mountains, that ye leaped like rams; Ye hills, as the lambs of the flock? 7 At the presence of the Lord, tremble, O earth! At the presence of the God of Jacob; 8 Who turned the rock into pools of water, The flinty rock into a fountain of waters. |
