When Israel went out of Egypt : and the

house of Jacob from among a barbarous

people,Judea became His sanctuary : Israel Hisdominion. The sea beheld and fled : Jordanturned back.The mountains skipped like rams :and the hills like lambs of flocks.What aileth

thee, O sea, that thou fleddest : and thou Jordan,

that thou didst turn back?Ye mountains, that yeskipped like rams : and ye hills like lambs of

flocks? At the presence of the Lord the earthwas shaken : at the presence of the God of Jacob,Who turneth the rock into pools of waters : and

the precipice into fountains of waters. Not untous, O Lord, not unto us : but unto Thy name give

He hath willed, He hath done. The idols of thenations are of silver and gold : the works of the

hands of men.They have a mouth, but shall not

speak : eyes have they, and shall not see. Earshave they, and shall not hear : noses have they,and shall not smell.Hands they have, and shallnot feel; feet have they, and shall not walk : they

shall make no sound in their throat. Let thosethat make them become like unto them : and all
