¹ When the Israelites escaped from Egypt— when the family of Jacob left that foreign land—

² the land of Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom.

³ The Red Sea[164] saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away.

⁴ The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs!

⁵ What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?

⁶ Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs?

⁷ Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.

⁸ He turned the rock into a pool of water; yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock.
