The Book of Psalms

When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from that foreign people,

Judah became his holy place, Israel his kingdom.

The sea looked and fled; the Jordan turned back.

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills skipped like lambs.

Why did you flee, sea? Jordan, why did you turn back?

Mountains, why did you skip like rams? You little hills, why did you skip like lambs?

Tremble, earth, before the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

He turned the rock into a pool of water, the hard rock into a spring of water.

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?

Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
