    the Jordan turned back;^(B)
4 the mountains leaped^(C) like rams,
    the hills like lambs.

⁵ Why was it, sea, that you fled?^(D)
    Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
⁶ Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,
    you hills, like lambs?

⁷ Tremble, earth,^(E) at the presence of the Lord,
    at the presence of the God of Jacob,
⁸ who turned the rock into a pool,
    the hard rock into springs of water.^(F)
