Psalm 114
When Israel left Egypt, the sea fled and the Jordan turned back. Mountains skipped like rams. The whole earth trembles at the presence of the God of Jacob who turns rock into springs.

If God speaks to you through Psalm 114, record what He said in Doxa and come back to it.
When Israel departed from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel His dominion.
The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;
the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back,
O mountains, that you skipped like rams, O hills, like lambs?
Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
who turned the rock into a pool, the flint into a fountain of water!
