as a happy mother of children.

1 When Israel came out of Egypt,

Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

2 Judah became God’s sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

the Jordan turned back;

4 the mountains leaped like rams,

the hills like lambs.

9 He gives the barren woman a home,

making her the joyous mother of children.

Praise the Lord!

the hills like lambs.

And the little hills like lambs.
