¹When Isra’el came out of Egypt,

the house of Ya‘akov from a people of foreign speech,

²Y’hudah became [God’s] sanctuary,

Isra’el his domain.

³The sea saw this and fled;

the Yarden turned back;

⁴the mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like young sheep.

⁵Why is it, sea, that you flee?

Why, Yarden, do you turn back?

⁶Why, mountains, do you skip like rams;

and you hills like young sheep?

⁷Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,

at the presence of the God of Ya‘akov,

⁸who turned the rock into a pool of water,

flint into flowing spring.
