1. Alleluia.When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
2. Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3. The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.
4. The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.
5. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
6. Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?
7. At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:
8. Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
9. Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.
10. For thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake: lest the gentiles should say: Where is their God?
