Psalms 114

Psalms 114:2

Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

The seed of Israel, and among them, in special, the tribe of Judah, were his peculiar people, over which he reigned, and in whom he was honoured and sanctified.

Psalms 114:3

The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

The Red Sea, as acknowledging the powerful hand of God for the protection and safety of his people, gave way unto their passage; and Jordan, in the shutting up of their journey, dividing his waves, ran back, to give them way through his channels.

Psalms 114:4

The mountains shipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

The great mountains of the wilderness shook and were moved sensibly at his terrible presence, when he delivered the law to his people.
