Psalm 114:

 When Israel went out of Egypt,

the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

vs.1

"A highly poetic description of the Exodus, this psalm emphasizes both God’s power displayed and His provision supplied.

 

I.          God Inhabits Israel (114:1-2).

When Israel went out of Egypt, vs.1

II.         God Intimidates Nature (114:3-6).

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? vs.5

III.       God Invites Trembling (114:7-8).

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord,.. vs.7

 

There is no sea, no Jordan, so deep, so broad, but, when God's time is come, it shall be divided and driven back."

 

The mountains skipped like rams,

 and the little hills like lambs.

vs.4
