A Psalm of Exodus

1When Israel departed from Egypt,the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2Judah became God’s sanctuary,Israel His dominion.

3The sea observed and fled;the Jordan turned back;

4the mountains skipped like rams,the hills like lambs.

5Why was it, O sea, that you fled,O Jordan, that you turned back,

6O mountains, that you skipped like rams,O hills, like lambs?

7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8who turned the rock into a pool,the flint into a fountain of water!
