The sea saw it and ran

When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language, Judah was his sanctuary and Israel where he ruled. The sea saw it and ran. The Jordan turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. What's the matter with you, sea, that you ran? And you, Jordan, that you turned back? You mountains, that you skipped like rams, and you hills like lambs? Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.

When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a strange language, Judah was his holy place and Israel where he ruled. The sea saw it and ran. The Jordan turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. What's the matter with you, sea, that you ran? And you, Jordan, that you turned back? You mountains, that you skipped like rams, and you hills like lambs? Shake, earth, in front of the Master, in front of the God of Jacob — who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
