1bWhen Israel went out from Egypt,

the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,*

2Judah became God’sc sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.*

3The sea looked and fled;

Jordan turned back.*

4The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs.*

5Why is it, O sea, that you flee?

O Jordan, that you turn back?

6O mountains, that you skip like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,*

8who turns the rock into a pool of water,

the flint into a spring of water.*
