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!
