Psalms 114 Summary
Israel's Deliverance from Egypt
The psalmist recalls Israel's miraculous exodus from Egypt, when the Lord set Judah and Israel apart as His sanctuary and dominion. At the Lord's presence, the sea fled, the Jordan was driven back, and mountains and hills skipped like rams. The psalmist invites the earth to tremble at the presence of God, who turned rock into water.
