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.
