1When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, (Rdz 42,23; Wj 12,37; Ps 81,5)2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. (Wj 15,17; Wj 25,8; Ps 78,68; Ps 78,69)3The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back. (Joz 3,13; Ps 77,16)4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. (Wj 19,18; Ps 18,7; Ps 29,6)5What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back? (Ha 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. (Lb 20,11; Pwt 8,15; Ps 78,15; Ps 107,35)
