1Cuando salió Israel de Egipto, La casa de Jacob del pueblo extranjero,
2Judá vino a ser su santuario, E Israel su señorío.
3El mar lo vio, y huyó; El Jordán se volvió atrás.
4Los montes saltaron como carneros, Los collados como corderitos.
5¿Qué tuviste, oh mar, que huiste? ¿Y tú, oh Jordán, que te volviste atrás?
6Oh montes, ¿por qué saltasteis como carneros, Y vosotros, collados, como corderitos?
7A la presencia de Jehová tiembla la tierra, A la presencia del Dios de Jacob,
8El cual cambió la peña en estanque de aguas, Y en fuente de aguas la roca.

Ps 114 This lyrical celebration of the Lord’s power in nature recalls Israel’s beginning as a nation at the Exodus (114:1-2) and upon their entry to the Promised Land (114:3-6). It promotes reverence for the God of Jacob (114:7-8).
114:1-2 At the time of Israel’s exodus from Egypt and their entrance into the Promised Land, Israel was one holy kingdom (Exod 19:5-6). • The separate references to the land of Judah and Israel indicate that the psalm was composed after the kingdom was divided (1 Kgs 12:16-17; cp. 1 Sam 11:8; 1 Kgs 1:35), and probably after the Exile. The land of Judah became God’s sanctuary because the people worshiped God; his Tabernacle and later his Temple were located there.

114:3-4 hurried out of their way! The waters divided for Israel to escape Egypt (77:17-18; Exod 14). • The Jordan River turned away when Israel arrived to cross over (see Josh 3). • skipped like rams: God’s presence caused the mountains to quake (Exod 19:16-20).

114:8 The Lord miraculously provided for his people in hard times after the Exile, just as he had done in the wilderness after the Exodus.
