1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
I am sure that if I read and understood Hebrew I would appreciate David's poem much more. As I understand now, God is revealed as Great. Of all the power we see in times past, it is nothing compared to the power of God. Not only ought the Earth tremble, but all ought to understand we are as little worms that have no understanding heaven and hell or what is about to happen.
"What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters." Ps. 114:5,7,8.
