113:9He makes the barren woman of the family6
a happy mother of children.7
Praise the Lord!
Psalm 1148
114:1When Israel left Egypt,
when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,1
114:2Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his kingdom.
114:3The sea looked and fled;2
the Jordan River3 turned back.4
114:4The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills like lambs.5
114:5Why do you flee, O sea?
Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?
114:6Why do you skip like rams, O mountains,
like lambs, O hills?
Footnotes
- 6 Heb “of the house.”
- 7 Heb “sons.”
- 8 Psalm 114. The psalmist recalls the events of the exodus and conquest and celebrates God’s kingship over his covenant people.
- 1 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.
- 2 The psalmist recalls the crossing of the Red Sea (Exod 14:21).
- 3 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.
- 4 The psalmist recalls the crossing of the Jordan River (Josh 3:13, 16).
- 5 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).
