Translation
When Israel exiled from Egypt, the house of Jacob left the people of alien tongue; Judah became God’s sanctuary and Israel His dominions. The sea beheld and fled; the Jordan’s stream turned back. The mountains skipped like rams and the hills like lambs. What ails you, O sea, that thus you flee? O Jordan, that you turn backward? O mountains, why do you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs? Tremble, O earth, before the Lord’s presence, the presence of the God of Jacob – He who turns a rock into a pond of water and the flint into a flowing fountain.
