You alone are God.

Psalms 114:1-7

Psalm 114 ⁷ 

114:1 When Israel left Egypt,

when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind, ⁸ 

114:2 Judah became his sanctuary,

Israel his kingdom.

114:3 The sea looked and fled; ⁹ 

the Jordan River ¹⁰  turned back. ¹¹ 

114:4 The mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs. ¹² 

114:5 Why do you flee, O sea?

Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?

114:6 Why do you skip like rams, O mountains,

like lambs, O hills?

114:7 Tremble, O earth, before the Lord –

before the God of Jacob,

¹ tn Heb “the soles of the feet.”

² tn Or “Lord”; or “Master.”

³ tn Or “rest in.”

⁴ tn Heb “the waters of the Jordan, the waters descending from above, will be cut off so that they will stand in one pile.”

⁵ tn Heb “dipped into the edge.”

⁶ tn Heb “and the Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest.”

⁷ sn Psalm 114. The psalmist recalls the events of the exodus and conquest and celebrates God’s kingship over his covenant people.

⁸ tn Heb “the house of Jacob from a nation speaking a foreign language.” The Hebrew verb לָעַז (la’at, “to speak a foreign language”) occurs only here in the OT.

⁹ sn The psalmist recalls the crossing of the Red Sea (Exod 14:21).

¹⁰ tn Heb “the Jordan” (also in v. 5). The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

¹¹ sn The psalmist recalls the crossing of the Jordan River (Josh 3:13, 16).

¹² sn The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. This may recall the theophany at Sinai when the mountain shook before God’s presence (Exod 19:18).
