The Power of God in His Deliverance of Israel

1 When ^aIsrael went out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob ^bfrom a people of strange language,

2 ^aJudah became His sanctuary,
And Israel His dominion.

3 ^aThe sea saw it and fled;
^bJordan turned back.

4 ^aThe mountains skipped like rams,
The little hills like lambs.

5 ^aWhat ails you, O sea, that you fled?
O Jordan, that you turned back?

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

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

8 ^aWho turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of waters.
