A Psalm from the Exodus
1
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
2
Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3
The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
4
The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.
5
What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
6
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?
7
At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:
8
Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
