²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

¹ When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language;

² Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³ The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

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

⁵ What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

⁶ You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?

⁷ Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁸ who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
