Psalm 114

The Psalm is based on the two decrees in vs. 1 and vs. 4.Every word of vs. 1 will prove important and two different words for Lord are used. Notice the use of "right hand" in vs. 1 and vs. 5.

Beautiful and helpful
I’ve been preaching through the psalms for a few months now and this podcast has saved me hours of work. A thoughtful exposition of the text along with relevant application points. Additionally the final notes that link the topics of each Psalm to their fulfillment in the person and work of Jesus Christ are invaluable. Thank you!
