2 Judah he did his Sanctuary, And Israel his Dominion make;
3 The Sea did see, and fled away, And Jordan's stream was driven back.
4 Like Rams the mountains, and like Lambs The little hills skipped to and fro:
4 Like Rams the mountains, and like Lambs The little hills skipt to and fro:
5 O Sea, what made thee thus to flee? Jordan, why didst thou backward go?
6 Ye mountains great, what was the cause That made you thus to skip like Rams? Ye little hills, wherefore was it, That you did skip like playing Lambs?
