PSALM 114
God’s Rescue of Israel from Egypt.
1When Israel came out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2Judah became His sanctuary,
And Israel His dominion.
3The [Red] Sea #Some of the ancient rabbis said that the sea saw God’s right hand placed on Moses. Others said that it saw God’s name (YHWH) engraved on Moses’ staff.looked and fled;
The Jordan turned back.
4The mountains leaped like rams,
The [little] hills, like lambs.
5What ails you, O sea, that you flee?
O Jordan, that you turn back?
6O mountains, that you leap like rams,
O [little] hills, like lambs?
7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob (Israel),
8Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of water.

A Passover Song

Ex 12.51
When the people of Israel left Egypt,
when Jacob's descendants left that foreign land,
2Judah became the Lord's holy people,
Israel became his own possession.

Ex 14.21; Josh 3.16 The Red Sea looked and ran away;
the River Jordan stopped flowing.
4The mountains skipped like goats;
the hills jumped about like lambs.
5What happened, Sea, to make you run away?
And you, O Jordan, why did you stop flowing?
6You mountains, why did you skip like goats?
You hills, why did you jump about like lambs?
7Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,

Ex 17.1–7; Num 20.2–13 who changes rocks into pools of water
and solid cliffs into flowing springs.
