1. When Israel went forth out of Egypt,

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

2. Judah became his sanctuary,

2. Israel his dominion.

3. The sea saw it, and fled;

3. Jordan was driven back.

4. The mountains skipped like rams,

4. The little hills like young sheep.

5. What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest?

5. Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

6. Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams;

6. Ye little hills, like young sheep?

7. Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord,

7. At the presence of the God of Jacob;

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

8. The flint into a fountain of waters.
