from Biblica1When Israel came out of Egypt, Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,2Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion.3The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back;4the mountains leaped like rams, the hills like lambs.5Why was it, sea, that you fled? Why, Jordan, did you turn back?6Why, mountains, did you leap like rams, you hills, like lambs?7Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,8who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
1When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, (Ge 42:23; Ex 12:37; Ps 81:5)2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. (Ex 15:17; Ex 25:8; Ps 78:68; Ps 78:69)3The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back. (Jos 3:13; Ps 77:16)4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. (Ex 19:18; Ps 18:7; Ps 29:6)5What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back? (Hab 3:8)6O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, (Ps 96:9)8who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water. (Nu 20:11; De 8:15; Ps 78:15; Ps 107:35)
