A Psalm from the Exodus
1
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,
2
Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3
The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
4
The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
5
What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
6
You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You little hills, like lambs?
7
Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8
who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
