Lyrics from Psalm 114

בְּצֵאת יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִמִּרַָים , בֵּית יַעֲקֹב מֵעַם לֹעֵז, הָיְתָה יְהוּדָּה לְקָדְשׁוֹ, יִשְׂרָאֵל מַמְשְׁלוֹתָיו. הַיָּם רָאָה וַיַָּנֹס, הַיַרְדֵּן יִסֹּב לְאָחוֹר. הֶהָרִים רָקְדוּ כְאֵילִים, גְּבַָעוֹת - כִּבְנֵי צֹאן. מַה לְּךָ הַיָּם כִּי תָנוּס, הַיַּרְדֵן - תִּסֹּב לְאָחוֹר, הֶהָרִים - תִּרְקְדוּ כְאֵילִים, גְּבַָעוֹת - כִּבְנֵי צֹאן. מִלְּפְנֵי אָדוֹן חוּלִי אָרֶץ, מִלְּפְנֵי אֱלוֹהַ יַעֲקֹב. הַהֹפְכִי הַצּוּר אֲגַם מָיִם,  חַלָּמִיש - לְמַעְיְנוֹ מָיִם

B'tzeit Yis-ra-eil mi-Mitz-ra-yim

Beit Ya-a-kov mei-am lo-eiz

Ha-y'ta Y'hu-da l'kod-sho Yis-ra-eil mam-sh'lo-tav

Ha-yam ra-a va-ya-nos

Ha-Yar-dein yi-sov l'a-chor

He-ha-rim rak'du ch'ei-lim g'va-ot kiv-nei tzon

Mah l’cha hayam ki tanos,

Hayardein – tisov l’achor,

Heharim tirkedu che’eilim, givaot – kivnei tzon.

Milifnei adon chuli aretz,

Milifnei eloha Ya’akov.

Hahofchi hatzur agam mayim,

Chalamish – lemayno mayim.

When Israel went forth from Mitzrayim,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange speech,
Judah became God’s holy one,
Israel, God’s dominion.

The sea saw them and fled,
The Jordan ran backward,
Mountains skipped like rams,
Hills like sheep.

What alarmed you, O sea, that you fled,
Jordan, that you ran backward,
Mountains, that you skipped like rams,
Hills, like sheep?

Tremble, O earth, at the presence of Adonai,
At the presence of the God of Jacob,
Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flinty rock into a fountain.
