NOTES for Psa 114:1-8; Psa 115:1-17
This Psalm can confidently be called “a concise guide for the evangelist.” How else can one put into words the fact that a person can make an idol and worship it, but a piece of wood, iron, or gold will never hear him? God, who became man, shared everything with us, even death—He hears us, sees us, and embraces us. He speaks with us and enters into communion with us. He loves us. He acts in the world despite our resistance. And the person to whom God has granted eternal life will glorify his Savior.
