Psalms 114:7

“Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, etc.] Or, “the earth has trembled at the presence of the Lord”; so the Syriac and Arabic versions render it; the imperative is sometimes put for the preterite or past tense, (see <192209>Psalm 22:9), likewise the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions thus render it, “the earth is moved at the presence of the Lord”; and then the sense is by a prosopopoeia. Is it to be wondered at, that we, the sea, the river of Jordan, the mountains and hills, have fled, or have been driven back, or have skipped like rams and lambs, when the whole earth, of which we are a part, has trembled at the presence of God? who, when he does but look, the earth…”

“Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord ... - This is at the same time an explanation of the facts referred to in the previous verses, and the statement of an important truth in regard to the power of God. The true explanation - as here implied - of what occurred to the sea, to the Jordan, to the mountains, and to the hills, was the fact that God was there; the inference from that, or the truth which followed from that, was, that before that God in whose presence the very mountains shook, and from whom the waters of the sea fled in alarm the whole earth should tremble. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Tremble - The mountains did more than what was fit at the appearance of the great God. Next: Psalms Chapter 115”
