1. When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,
2. Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:
3. The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;
4. The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?
5. What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?
6. Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?
7. Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:
8. Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
