Heharim tirkedu cheilim, הֶהָרִים תִּרְקְדוּ כְאֵילִים

Milifnei adon chuli aretz, מִלִּפְנֵי אָדוֹן חוּלִי אָרֶץ
Mlifnei eloah ya'akov. מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלוֹהַּ יַעֲקֹב
Hahofechi hatzur agam mayim, הַהֹפְכִי הַצּוּר אֲגַם מָיִם
Chalamish lemayeno mayim. חַלָּמִישׁ לְמַעְיְנוֹ מָיִם
Translation:
When Israel came forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
Judah became His sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan turned backward.
The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.
What is has come upon you, the sea, that you flee? The Jordan, that you turn backward?
The mountains, that you skip like rams; the hills, like young sheep?
Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Master, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
Who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Translation based on Jewish Publication Society Bible (1917) (public domain)
