Solid as a Mountain
The psalmist uses powerful natural imagery to describe God's character. Commentators explain that His righteousness is 'like the mountains of God'—as stable, majestic, and immovable as the highest peaks. His judgments and plans are 'a great deep'—profound, vast, and often beyond our full comprehension, like the fathomless ocean. These images assure us of God's reliable justice and sovereign wisdom.
