God’s Deliverance of Israel
1 When Israel came out of Egypt —
the house of Jacob from a people
who spoke a foreign language 114:1 Ex 13:3; Ps 81:5 —
2 Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel, his dominion. 114:2 Ex 15:17; Ps 78:68–69
3 The sea looked and fled; 114:3 Ex 14:21; Ps 77:16
the Jordan turned back. 114:3 Jos 3:13–16
4 The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills, like lambs. 114:4 Ex 19:18; Ps 29:6
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?
Jordan, that you turned back? 114:5 Hab 3:8
6 Mountains, that you skipped like rams?
Hills, like lambs? 114:6 Hab 3:10
7 Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob, 114:7 Ps 96:9
8 who turned the rock into a pool,
the flint into a spring. 114:8 Ex 17:6; Nm 20:11; Dt 8:15
