Psalm 114:4
βThe mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.β
KJV
Read in Psalm 114Meaning
The lively comparison gives the landscape animate movement before God's presence, echoing Sinai-like trembling without requiring a literal zoological or geological reading.
Creation responds to God's presence
Sea, river, mountains, and hills are personified as moving before the Lord.
Read carefully
It is poetic personification conveying awe before God's presence.
Reflection
Ask what the image communicates before treating it as a technical claim.
