St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm CXIV
8. “Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob” ( ver. 7 ). What meaneth, “at the presence of the Lord,” save at the presence of Him who said, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” For the earth trembled; but because it had remained slothful, it was made to tremble, so that it might be more firmly fixed at the presence of the Lord.
