Tremble, O earth, before the Lord,The rest of the psalm is describing the physical miracles that God did for the Israelites, in bringing them to the Promised Land. It said, in rather poetic language, how the Red Sea and Jordan River were parted for them to cross.
Before the God of Jacob,
The earth did tremble before God on those days. But should it tremble more often? I realize the earth isn't alive, so it can't recognize God's power. But how much do we read into events that God is doing something, when natural processes are at work? Or how about the reverse? Might God be acting, and we're writing it off as another natural occurrence, because it's something that can be explained by our understanding of science, unlike those two amazing events?
