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.
