The Psalms

When Israel went forth from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

Judah became His sanctuary, Israel, His dominion.

The sea looked and fled; The Jordan turned back.

The mountains skipped like rams, The hills, like lambs.

What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?

O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?

Tremble, O earth, before the Lord, Before the God of Jacob,

Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of water.
