The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way!
The water of the Jordan River turned away.
The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs!
What's wrong Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way?
What happened Jordan River, that you turned away?
Why mountains did you skip like rams?
Why hills, like lambs?
The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way!

And the water below that point flowed on to the Dead Sea until the riverbed was dry. Then all the people crossed over near the town of Jericho. (see all Joshua 3)

you did awesome deeds beyond our highest expectations.
And, oh, how the mountains quaked! (see all Isaiah 64)

Were you displeased with them?
No, you were sending your chariots of salvation!
