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!
