1When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language:

2Judah became his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.

3The sea beheld it, and fled: the Jordan was driven backward.

4The mountains skipped like wethers, the hills like lambs.

5What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? thou, O Jordan, that thou art driven backward?

6Ye mountains, that ye skip like wethers? ye hills, like lambs?

7At the presence of the Lord tremble, O earth, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

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