The psalm is full of word pictures. The sea saw it and fled. The Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams. The little hills skipped like lambs.

Then the psalm asks the sea and the mountains why they moved. The answer: Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord. He is the God of Jacob. He turned the rock into a pool of water.

When Creation Trembles

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 114 has no title and names no author. In eight verses it retells the exodus as a poem. When Israel went out of Egypt, Judah became his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. God's people became the place where he lived and ruled.

The psalm pictures creation reacting to God. The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams. The poet then asks the sea, the Jordan, and the mountains playful questions about why they moved.

The answer is the presence of God: Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob. The same God who makes the earth tremble also provides for his people. He turned the rock into a pool of water and the flint into a spring of waters, as he did in the wilderness.

The Presence of the God of Jacob

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 114 has no title and names no author. It compresses the whole exodus, from Egypt to Canaan, into eight vivid verses. Its first lines state the purpose of the rescue: Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. God redeemed a people so that he could dwell among them and rule them.

The psalm uses personification, giving human actions to things in nature. The sea saw it, and fled; the Jordan was driven back; the mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs. Then the poet teases them: What was it, you sea, that you fled? The questions slow us down to feel the wonder of these events. The psalm's answer is that God himself was present.

The answer comes as a command: Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob. The God before whom the earth trembles is also the God who provides. He turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters. In the New Testament, Paul says the rock in the wilderness pointed to Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4).
