A Psalm of Exodus

1In the going forth of Israel from Egypt,

the house of Jacob from a people speaking strangely,

2Judah became His sanctuary,

Israel His dominion.

3The sea saw Him and fled;

the Jordan turned to the back.

4The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like sons of the flock.

5What was it to you, O sea, that you fled,

O Jordan, that you turned back,

6O mountains, that you⁺ skipped like rams,

O hills, like sons of the flock?

7Tremble before the face of the Lord, O earth,

before the face of the God of Jacob—

8turning the rock into a pool of waters,

the flint into a spring of waters!
