In the biblical context, this is a poetic description of the natural world responding to the presence and power of God. The reference to mountains skipping is likely an allusion to the events at Mount Sinai, where the earth trembled at the giving of the Law (<a href="/exodus/19-18.htm">Exodus 19:18</a>). This imagery underscores the majesty and authority of God over creation, as even the most immovable parts of the earth respond to His presence. The mountains symbolize strength and stability, yet they are depicted as lively and responsive, highlighting God's supreme power. This can also be seen as a type of Christ, who has authority over all creation (<a href="/colossians/1-16.htm">Colossians 1:16-17</a>).<p><b>O hills, like lambs?</b><br>The hills are described as moving like lambs, which are known for their innocence and playfulness. This imagery complements the previous line, emphasizing the joy and vitality of creation in response to God's presence. The hills, often seen as smaller and less significant than mountains, are also depicted as animated and responsive. This reflects the biblical theme that all of creation, regardless of size or significance, is subject to God's will and rejoices in His presence (<a href="/psalms/96-11.htm">Psalm 96:11-12</a>). The use of lambs can also be seen as a subtle reference to Christ, the Lamb of God, who brings joy and renewal to creation (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>). This phrase, together with the previous one, paints a picture of a world that is alive and vibrant in the presence of its Creator.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/mountains_and_hills.htm">Mountains and Hills</a></b><br>These are symbolic representations of the natural world responding to God's presence. In the context of <a href="/bsb/psalms/114.htm">Psalm 114</a>, they are depicted as skipping like rams and lambs, illustrating the joy and awe of creation in response to God's mighty acts.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/e/exodus_from_egypt.htm">Exodus from Egypt</a></b><br>The backdrop of <a href="/bsb/psalms/114.htm">Psalm 114</a> is the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, a pivotal event where God demonstrated His power and faithfulness. The mountains and hills' reaction is a poetic reflection of the miraculous events during this time.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_presence_of_god.htm">The Presence of God</a></b><br>The psalm emphasizes the power and majesty of God's presence, which causes even the most immovable parts of creation to respond dynamically.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_over_creation.htm">God's Sovereignty Over Creation</a></b><br>The imagery of mountains and hills skipping underscores God's absolute authority over nature.
