International Standard Version

1 When Israel came out of Egypt— the household of Jacob from a people of foreign speech—

2 Judah became his sanctuary and Israel his place of dominion.

3 The sea saw this ^a and fled, the Jordan River ^b ran backwards,

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

5 What happened to you, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you ran backwards?

6 Mountains, that you skipped like rams? and you hills, that you skipped ^c like lambs?

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

8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flinty rock into flowing springs.
