God’s Rescue of Israel from Egypt.

¹ When Israel came out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

² Judah became His sanctuary,
And Israel His dominion.

³ The [Red] Sea ^[a]looked and fled;
The Jordan turned back.

⁴ The mountains leaped like rams,
The [little] hills, like lambs.

⁵ What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?

⁶ O mountains, that you leap like rams,
O [little] hills, like lambs?

⁷ Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob (Israel),

⁸ Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of water.
