Psalms

¹ When Israel came out of Egypt — the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign 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 Why was it, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you turned back?

⁶ Mountains, that you skipped like rams? Hills, like lambs?

⁷ Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁸ who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a spring.
