114:1
When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of a
strange language;
(a) Or, barbarous.
114:2 Judah was his b
sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
(b) The whole people were witnesses to his holy
majesty in adopting them, and of his mighty power in delivering them.
114:4 The c
mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills like lambs.
(c) Seeing that these dead creatures felt God's
power and after a sort saw it, much more his people ought to consider it, and
glorify him for the same.
114:7
Tremble, thou d earth, at the presence
of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
(d) Ought then his people to be insensible when
they see his power and majesty?
114:8 Which e
turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
(e) That is, miraculously caused water to come
out of the rock in great abundance, (Exodus
17:6).
