Psalms 114
The passage describes the miraculous events that occurred when the Israelites left Egypt, with the sea and Jordan River parting and the mountains and hills trembling in response to God's presence. The earth is called to tremble at the power of the Lord, who can transform even the hardest rock into a source of water. This display of divine power is a testament to God's dominion over Israel.
1When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,2Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.3The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back.4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.5What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?6O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,8who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.
