[Alleluia.][1]At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,[2]Judea became his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.[3]The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.[4]The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.[5]What ailed thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?[6]Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs?[7]The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;[8]who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
