Salmos 114:6

6 Oh montes, ¿por qué saltasteis como carneros, Y vosotros, collados, como corderitos?

Salmos 114:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 114:6

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams
Not for joy, but fear; what caused these trembling motions, these violent agitations, and quakings, and movings to and fro like the skipping of rams?

And ye little hills, like lambs?
what was it that disturbed you, and put you into a panic, that you skipped like frightened lambs? These questions are put, by a beautiful and poetical figure, to inanimate creatures; the Red sea, the river of Jordan, the mountains of Sinai and Horeb, and the hills about them; to which an answer is turned in the next verse.

Salmos 114:6 In-Context

4 Los montes saltaron como carneros: Los collados como corderitos.

5 ¿Qué tuviste, oh mar, que huiste? ¿Y tú, oh Jordán, que te volviste atrás?

6 Oh montes, ¿por qué saltasteis como carneros, Y vosotros, collados, como corderitos?

7 A la presencia del Señor tiembla la tierra, A la presencia del Dios de Jacob;

8 El cual tornó la peña en estanque de aguas, Y en fuente de aguas la roca.
