1. When Israel came forth from Egypt, the house of Jacob from an alien people,

2. Judah became God's holy place, Israel, God's domain.

3. The sea beheld and fled; the Jordan turned back.

4. The mountains skipped like rams; the hills, like lambs of the flock.

5. Why was it, sea, that you fled? Jordan, that you turned back?

6. You mountains, that you skipped like rams? You hills, like lambs of the flock?

7. Tremble, earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob,

8. Who turned rock into pools of water, stone into flowing springs.





O sábio elogia a mulher forte dizendo: os seu dedos manejaram o fuso. A roca é o alvo dos seus desejos. Fie, portanto, cada dia um pouco. Puxe fio a fio até a execução e, infalivelmente, você chegará ao fim. Mas não tenha pressa, pois senão você poderá misturar o fio com os nós e embaraçar tudo.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
