God’s Deliverance of Israel from Egypt.
1 When Israel went forth from Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
1 When Israel went forth from Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judah became His sanctuary,
Israel, His dominion.
Israel, His dominion.
3 The sea looked and fled;
The Jordan turned back.
The Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams,
The hills, like lambs.
The hills, like lambs.
5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?
O hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, O earth, before the Lord,
Before the God of Jacob,
Before the God of Jacob,
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of water.
The flint into a fountain of water.
