1 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people, 2 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion. 3 The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward. 4 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock. 5 What — to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back! 6 O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock! 7 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob, 8 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!
