“Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.”
The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back. The natural order responds to God's power over Israel's behalf: the sea flees (Red Sea crossing) and the Jordan reverses (Joshua's crossing). The personification of water ('looked and fled,' 'turned back') suggests that creation recognizes and obeys God's presence. This verse portrays nature as responsive to God's salvific acts.
