The Power of His Presence
Commentators explain that this verse is the psalm's dramatic climax. The reason the sea, river, and mountains reacted so powerfully in the preceding verses is revealed here: it was the presence of the Lord. This teaches that God's active, majestic presence is the ultimate source of power over all creation.
