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