1When Israel went forth out of Egypt , The house of Jacob from a people of strange language ; 2Judah became his sanctuary , Israel his dominion . 3The sea saw it , and fled ; The Jordan was driven back . 4The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs .
God's Presence Among His People
5What aileth thee , O thou sea , that thou fleest? Thou Jordan , that thou turnest back ? 6Ye mountains , that ye skip like rams; Ye little hills , like lambs ? 7Tremble , thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob , 8Who turned the rock into a pool of water , The flint into a fountain of waters .
