God’s Deliverance of Israel from Egypt.

1
When Israel went forth from Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

2
Judah became His sanctuary,
Israel, His dominion.

3
The sea looked and fled;
The Jordan turned back.

4
The mountains skipped like rams,
The hills, like lambs.

5
What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?

6
O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?

7
Tremble, O earth, before the Lord,
Before the God of Jacob,

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