Psalm 114
Hallelujah, God does great things #114:1 This is the second ‘Egyptian hallel’ psalm. It tells us what happened when the people of Israel left Egypt.
1God led Israel's people out of Egypt.
Jacob's descendants left that foreign land.
2Then Judah became God's special place for his people.
There he ruled over Israel's people.
3The sea looked and ran away!
Then the Jordan River turned back! #114:3 The sea was the Red Sea. It was between Egypt and Canaan. See Exodus 14:10-22 A dry path appeared in the sea. The same thing happened to the Jordan River. See Joshua 3:7-17.
4The mountains shook,
like sheep that are jumping.
The hills jumped like lambs. #114:4 The hills and mountains jumped like animals when the Lord was near. See Exodus 19:18-20.
5Tell me, sea, why did you run away?
Tell me, Jordan River, why did you turn back?
6And you mountains and hills,
why did you jump like sheep?
7Earth, you should shake with fear!
The Lord, Jacob's God, has come to you,
so be afraid!
8He changes a rock into a pool of water!
Water pours out of a hard rock! #114:8 See Exodus 17:1-7; Numbers 20:11.
