When Israel had from Egypt gone

Verse 1

When Israel had from Egypt gone, Jacob from men of speech unknown; then Judah was his holy place, and his dominion Israel's race.

Verse 2

The sea, affrighted, saw and fled; back Jordan driven was with dread; the lofty mountains skipped like rams, and all the little hills like lambs.

Verse 3

What ailed thee, that thou fledd'st, O sea? Thou, Jordan, that thou back didst flee? Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? and all ye little hills like lambs?

Verse 4

Earth, tremble, for the Lord is near: before the God of Jacob, fear; who from the rock did water bring, and made the flint a water-spring.
