Psalm 114 is a hymn of praise from the Old Testament, likely sung during Jewish festivals like Passover, as it recounts the miraculous events of the Exodus when God led the Israelites out of Egypt. It specifically refers to God's provision of water from a rock in the wilderness, as described in Exodus 17 and Numbers 20, where Moses struck the rock to quench the people's thirst during their desert journey.
