‏ Psalms 114:1

The Deliverance of Israel Celebrated

This psalm looks back to the great miracles God did for Israel in the past. The writer reminds us never to forget God’s mercy and power, especially when he rescued his people from slavery in Egypt. These stories are meant to encourage us to trust God, because he can change anything for the good of his people.

v. 1: God brought Israel out of Egypt with great power. They did not sneak away or escape secretly. Instead, they left openly and with honor. God rescued them from people who spoke a different language and treated them badly (Psalm 114:1; Psalm 81:5 a).
