Psalms 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.

2Then Judah became God's special place for his people. There he ruled over Israel's people.

3The sea looked and ran away! Then the Jordan River turned back!

4The mountains shook, like sheep that are jumping. The hills jumped like lambs.

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, you should shake with fear! The Lord, Jacob's God, has come to you, so be afraid!

8He changes a rock into a pool of water! Water pours out of a hard rock!
