Introduction to Psalms 114-116

If you heard last week's Psalms episode, Psalms 11-113, the one titled "I Will", you might remember that Psalm 113 was the first of a collection of Psalms called the Egyptian Hallel. The others are 114-118. These Psalms were sung as a part of the annual Passover celebration that Jews observed. Psalms 113 and 114 were sung before the Passover meal, and 115-118 were sung after the meal, and it is more than likely that Jesus sang these songs with the disciples at their Passover meal the night of His betrayal. Once again, listen carefully, and try to imagine what must have been going through His mind as He sang these Psalms.

Steve Webb 0:10Together Again, this is the Lifespring family Audio Bible coming to you from Riverside, California, podcasting since 2004. I'm your OG God cast her Steve Webb. This is the daily show where we're reading through the entire Bible in a year. Today is Psalms Wednesday, and we'll read chapters 1/14 through 1/16. And today's episode will be a bit different than normal. I'm going to give you a brief introduction to the Psalms, but no comments afterward. I think the Psalms speak for themselves, given the context that I'll give you in a moment. And with my medical procedure coming up on Friday, I'm kind of crunched for time. I will still have an on this date in church history segment for you and a time of prayer. The title of today's episode is he hears my voice. The show notes page is at Lifespring media.com/s 12 e 265.

Steve Webb 1:50Psalms chapter 114. When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, Judah became his sanctuary and Israel, his dominion. The sea, saw it and fled Jordan and turned back. The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs. What ails you? Oh, see that you fled? Oh, Jordan, that you turned back? Oh, mountains that you skipped like rams? Oh, little hills like lambs tremble,
