The Power of God in His Deliverance of Israel

1 When ^aIsrael went out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob ^bfrom a people of strange language,

2 ^aJudah became His sanctuary,
And Israel His dominion.

3 ^aThe sea saw it and fled;
^bJordan turned back.

4 ^aThe mountains skipped like rams,
The little hills like lambs.

5 ^aWhat ails you, O sea, that you fled?
O Jordan, that you turned back?

Psalms 114:2

Judah was his sanctuary - He set up his true worship among the Jews, and took them for his peculiar people.

And Israel his dominion - These words are a proof, were there none other, that this Psalm was composed after the days of David, and after the division of the tribes, for then the distinction of Israel and Judah took place.
