Tremble at the Presence of the Lord

1Alleluia. At the going forth of Israel from Egypt, of the house of Jacob from a barbarous people,

2Judea became his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

3The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs.

5What ailed thee, O sea, that thou fleddest? and thou Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs?

7The earth trembled at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8who turned the rock into pools of water, and the flint into fountains of water.
