¹ When the people of Israel left Egypt, when Jacob's descendants left that foreign land, ² Judah became the Lord's holy people, Israel became his own possession. ³ The Red Sea looked and ran away; the Jordan River stopped flowing. ⁴ The mountains skipped like goats; the hills jumped around like lambs. ⁵ What happened, Sea, to make you run away? And you, O Jordan, why did you stop flowing? ⁶ You mountains, why did you skip like goats? You hills, why did you jump around like lambs? ⁷ Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming, at the presence of the God of Jacob, ⁸ who changes rocks into pools of water and solid cliffs into flowing springs.
