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, 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, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.
