The Red Sea[a] saw them coming and hurried out of their way!
    The water of the Jordan River turned away.
The mountains skipped like rams,
    the hills like lambs!

Why, mountains, did you skip like rams?
    Why, hills, like lambs?

Was it in anger, Lord, that you struck the rivers
    and parted the sea?
Were you displeased with them?
    No, you were sending your chariots of salvation!
You brandished your bow
    and your quiver of arrows.
    You split open the earth with flowing rivers.
10 The mountains watched and trembled.
    Onward swept the raging waters.
The mighty deep cried out,
    lifting its hands in submission.

    when you rode your horses
    and your chariots to victory?(C)
You uncovered your bow,
    you called for many arrows.(D)
You split the earth with rivers;
10     the mountains saw you and writhed.(E)
Torrents of water swept by;
    the deep roared(F)
    and lifted its waves(G) on high.
