What ails you, O sea, that you fled?
O Jordan, that you turned back?
6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams?
O little hills, like lambs? vv.5-6
Read chapter 114
Questions to nature to explain it's behavior. The psalmist is asking in the present what happened in the past for their commotion. The psalm starts off speaking of the great Exodus. The sea was parted as it fled for the Israelites to cross it. Wind can't even cause the sea to do that, yet what is it about Lord that the sea caused it to. At the Lord's coming to Mount Siani the mountains moved. Possibly they moved being terrified or leaping for joy. Mountains and hills that seem immovable to man become the most active at the presence and command of the Lord. Nothing is immovable except God Himself. "For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed." (Isaiah 54:10).
What, metaphorically, mountains and hills do you want moved in your life, whether you take it as mountains of sin or addiction or hills of a people to leap for joy at the Lord, that only seem could happen by God's presence?
