God's Power Over Creation
Commentators agree that the 'pillars of heaven' is a poetic term for mountains, which ancient people imagined held up the sky. The verse describes these mighty mountains trembling at God's 'rebuke,' which is understood as the powerful voice of thunder during a storm. This imagery powerfully illustrates that all of creation stands in awe of God's immense power.
