1. When Israel went forth from Egypt,

1. The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2. Judah became His sanctuary,

2. Israel, His dominion.

3. The sea looked and fled;

3. The Jordan turned back.

4. The mountains skipped like rams,

4. The hills, like lambs.

5. What ails you, O sea, that you flee?

5. O Jordan, that you turn back?

6. O mountains, that you skip like rams?

6. O hills, like lambs?

7. Tremble, O earth, before the Lord,

7. Before the God of Jacob,

8. Who turned the rock into a pool of water,

8. The flint into a fountain of water.
