When Israel went out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people ^[a]of strange language,
² Judah became His sanctuary,
And Israel His dominion.

³ The sea saw it and fled;
Jordan turned back.
⁴ The mountains skipped like rams,
The little hills like lambs.
⁵ What ails you, O sea, that you fled?
O Jordan, that you turned back?
⁶ O mountains, that you skipped like rams?
O little hills, like lambs?

⁷ Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob,
⁸ Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of waters.
