| 1 | When Israel came out of Egypt, the children of Jacob from a people whose language was strange to them; |
| 2 | Judah became his holy place, and Israel his kingdom. |
| 3 | The sea saw it, and went in flight; Jordan was turned back. |
| 4 | The mountains were jumping like goats, and the little hills like lambs. |
| 5 | What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back? |
| 6 | You mountains, why were you jumping like goats, and you little hills like lambs? |
| 7 | Be troubled, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob; |
| 8 | Who made the rock into a water-spring, and the hard stone into a fountain. |
