1. When Israel went forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange 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 aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?
6. Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills, like lambs?
