The mountains skipped like rams, And the little hills like lambs.

The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

The mountains leaped away like rams; the hills leaped away like lambs!

And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.

and I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

Th' earth, as affrighted, then did shake, trembling upon it seiz'd: The hills' foundations moved were, because he was displeas'd.

He makes them like a calf to skip, ev'n that great Lebanon, And, like to a young unicorn, the mountain Sirion.

Sure each man walks in a vain show; they vex themselves in vain: He heaps up wealth, and doth not know to whom it shall pertain.

Why do ye leap, ye mountains high? this is the hill where God Desires to dwell; yea, God in it for aye will make abode.
