Psalm 114

³So Moses told the people, “Remember this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for the Lord brought you out of it by the strength of His hand. And nothing leavened shall be eaten.

⁴¹At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

⁴²Because the Lord kept a vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a vigil to the Lord, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to come.

⁵He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:

²³They did not realize that Joseph understood them, since there was an interpreter between them.

¹Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, because in the month of Abib the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night.

¹⁶There will be a highway for the remnant of His people who remain from Assyria, as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt.

⁸And they are to make a sanctuary for Me, so that I may dwell among them.

¹⁷You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance—the place, O Lord, You have prepared for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, Your hands have established.

⁶⁸But He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.

⁶⁹He built His sanctuary like the heights, like the earth He has established forever.

²⁶And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary among them forever.

²⁷My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be My people.

⁵Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine.

⁶And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.”

⁷I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

²¹Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove back the sea with a strong east wind that turned it into dry land. So the waters were divided,

¹⁶The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You and swirled; even the depths were shaken.

⁸Were You angry at the rivers, O Lord? Was Your wrath against the streams? Did You rage against the sea when You rode on Your horses, on Your chariots of salvation?

⁹You brandished Your bow; You called for many arrows. Selah You split the earth with rivers.

¹³When the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the Lord—the Lord of all the earth—touch down in the waters of the Jordan, its flowing waters will be cut off and will stand up in a heap.”

¹⁴So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of them.

¹⁵You trampled the sea with Your horses, churning the great waters.

¹²who sent His glorious arm to lead them by the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to gain for Himself everlasting renown,

⁴O Lord, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the land of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens poured out rain, and the clouds poured down water.

⁵The mountains quaked before the Lord, the One of Sinai, before the Lord, the God of Israel.

¹⁸Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke, because the Lord had descended on it in fire. And the smoke rose like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently.

¹⁸When all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning, the sounding of the ram’s horn, and the mountain enveloped in smoke, they trembled and stood at a distance.

⁶He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations; the ancient mountains crumbled; the perpetual hills collapsed. His ways are everlasting.

²³I looked at the earth, and it was formless and void; I looked to the heavens, and they had no light.

²⁴I looked at the mountains, and behold, they were quaking; all the hills were swaying.

⁸Were You angry at the rivers, O Lord? Was Your wrath against the streams? Did You rage against the sea when You rode on Your horses, on Your chariots of salvation?

⁸Were You angry at the rivers, O Lord? Was Your wrath against the streams? Did You rage against the sea when You rode on Your horses, on Your chariots of salvation?

⁶‘Alas, O sword of the Lord, how long until you rest? Return to your sheath; cease and be still!’

⁷How can it rest when the Lord has commanded it? He has appointed it against Ashkelon and the shore of its coastland.”

⁶He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.

²²Do you not fear Me?” declares the Lord. “Do you not tremble before Me, the One who set the sand as the boundary for the sea, an enduring barrier it cannot cross? The waves surge, but they cannot prevail. They roar but cannot cross it.

¹¹The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.

³²He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smolder.

¹If only You would rend the heavens and come down, so that mountains would quake at Your presence,

²as fire kindles the brushwood and causes the water to boil, to make Your name known to Your enemies, so that the nations will tremble at Your presence!

¹Hear now what the Lord says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

²Hear, O mountains, the Lord’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the Lord has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:

⁹Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

³⁵He turns a desert into pools of water and a dry land into flowing springs.

¹⁵He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.

¹¹Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, so that a great amount of water gushed out, and the congregation and their livestock were able to drink.

⁶Behold, I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. And when you strike the rock, water will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.

⁴¹He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.

⁴and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
