When Israel
went out
of Egypt,
the house
of Jacob
from a people
of strange language;
Judah
was his sanctuary,
and Israel
his dominion.
The sea
saw
it, and fled:
Jordan
was driven
back.
The mountains
skipped
like rams,
and the little hills
like lambs.
What ailed thee, O thou sea,
that thou fleddest?
thou Jordan,
that thou wast driven
back?
Ye mountains,
that ye skipped
like rams;
and ye little hills,
like lambs?
Tremble,
thou earth,
at the presence
of the Lord,
at the presence
of the God
of Jacob;
Which turned
the rock
into a standing
water,
the flint
into a fountain
of waters.
