Psalm 114

Tremble at the Presence of the Lord

1 When *Ex. 12:37Israel went out from Egypt,

the house of Jacob from *Ps. 81:5;[Gen. 42:23]a people of strange language,

2 Judah became his *Ps. 78:68,69;[Ex. 15:17;25:8]sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

3 *See Ps. 77:16The sea looked and fled;

*See Josh. 3:13-16Jordan turned back.

4 *[Ps. 18:7;29:6;Ex. 19:18]The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs.

5 What *[Hab. 3:8]ails you, O sea, that you flee?

O Jordan, that you turn back?

6 O mountains, that you skip like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

7 *Ps. 96:9Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who turns *Num. 20:11;See Ps. 78:15the rock into *See Ps. 107:35a pool of water,

*Deut. 8:15the flint into a spring of water.
