Psalm 114
Remember the great things that God has done #114:1 This is the second ‘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.
2Judah became God's special place for his people.
There he ruled over Israel's people. #114:2 Judah was the land that belonged to the tribe Judah, one of the 12 tribes of Israel. It became the name for the Israelite kingdom in the south.
3The sea looked and ran away!
The Jordan River also turned back! #114:3 The sea was the Red Sea. The Israelites had to go across it to escape from Egypt. See Exodus 14:10-22 A dry path appeared in the sea so that they could go across. God also opened a way for them to go across the Jordan River into Canaan. 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, shake with fear!
The Lord, Jacob's God, has come to you,
so be afraid!
8He changed a rock into a pool of water!
Water poured out of a hard rock! #114:8 See Exodus 17:1-7; Numbers 20:11.
