1. When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them;
2. Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom.
3. The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back.
4. The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs.
5. What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?
6. You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs?
7. Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob;
8. Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain.
