Psalms 114
114
A Song for Passover
1Many years ago the Jewish people escaped Egypt’s tyranny,
2so that Israel, God’s people of praise, # 114:2 Or Judah, which means “praise.”
would become his holy sanctuary,
his kingdom on the earth.
3The Red Sea waters saw them coming and ran the other way!
Then later, the Jordan River too
moved aside so that they could all pass through.
4The land shuddered with fear.
Mountains and hills shook with dread. # 114:4 The literal Hebrew reads “Mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.” This does not mean they skipped with joy, but that they shook with fear, as the context reveals.
5O sea, what happened to you to make you flee?
O Jordan, what was it that made you turn and run?
6O mountains, what frightened you so?
And you hills, what made you shiver?
7Tremble, O earth, for you are in the presence of the Lord,
the presence of the God of Jacob.
8He splits open boulders and brings up bubbling water.
Gushing streams burst forth when he is near!

Tremble at the Presence of the Lord
1When #Ex. 12:37 Israel went out from Egypt,
the house of Jacob from #Ps. 81:5; [Gen. 42:23]a people of strange language,
2Judah became his #Ps. 78:68, 69; [Ex. 15:17; 25:8]sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
3 # See Ps. 77:16 The sea looked and fled;
# See Josh. 3:13-16 Jordan turned back.
4 # [Ps. 18:7; 29:6; Ex. 19:18] The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.
5What #[Hab. 3:8]ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
6O mountains, that you skip like rams?
O hills, like lambs?

Ps. 96:9
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8who turns #Num. 20:11; See Ps. 78:15 the rock into #See Ps. 107:35 a pool of water,
#
Deut. 8:15
the flint into a spring of water.
