Book
Chapter
1
When the people of Israel left Egypt, when Jacob's descendants left that foreign land,
2
Judah became the Lord's holy people, Israel became his own possession.
3
The Red Sea looked and ran away; the Jordan River stopped flowing.
4
The mountains skipped like goats; the hills jumped around like lambs.
5
What happened, Sea, to make you run away? And you, O Jordan, why did you stop flowing?
6
You mountains, why did you skip like goats? You hills, why did you jump around like lambs?
7
Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8
who changes rocks into pools of water and solid cliffs into flowing springs.
