¹When Israel left Egypt, when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind, ²Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his kingdom. ³The sea looked and fled; the Jordan River turned back. ⁴The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. ⁵Why do you flee, O sea? Why do you turn back, O Jordan River? ⁶Why do you skip like rams, O mountains, like lambs, O hills? ⁷Tremble, O earth, before the Lord— before the God of Jacob, ⁸who turned a rock into a pool of water, a hard rock into springs of water.
