Psalms 114
The Power and Presence of God in Psalm 114
Psalm 114 celebrates God's intervention in the exodus of Israel from Egypt, as well as His power over creation. It highlights the movement of the sea and the Jordan River, the trembling of the earth, and the removal of obstacles by God's hand.
1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
