In exitu Israel

1  When Israel came out of Egypt, *
and the house of Jacob from among a people of a foreign 
tongue,

2  Judah was God’s sanctuary, *
and Israel his dominion. 
3  The sea beheld it and fled; *
Jordan was driven back. 
4  The mountains skipped like rams, *
and the little hills like young sheep. 
5  What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? *
O Jordan, that you were driven back?
6  You mountains, that you skipped like rams, *
and you little hills like young sheep?
7  Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, *
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8  Who turned the hard rock into a pool of water, *
and the flint stone into a springing well.
