God’s Rescue of Israel from Egypt.
1 When Israel came out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judah became His sanctuary,
And Israel His dominion.
3 The [Red] Sealooked and fled;
The Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains leaped like rams,
The [little] hills, like lambs.
5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
6 O mountains, that you leap like rams,
O [little] hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob (Israel),
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of water.
