Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
Psalm 114:2
Berean Standard Bible · 8 verses
A short, vivid psalm about Israel leaving Egypt. It pictures the sea running away, the Jordan turning back and the mountains skipping like rams, asks them why, and answers by calling the earth to tremble before the God of Jacob, who turns rock into springs of water.
1When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
3The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;
4the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,
6O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?
7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
