The formation of mountains is a testament to His creative power, as seen in <a href="/genesis/1-9.htm">Genesis 1:9-10</a>, where God commands the dry land to appear. Mountains often symbolize stability and permanence in Scripture, reflecting God's unchanging nature (<a href="/psalms/90-2.htm">Psalm 90:2</a>). The imagery of mountains also points to God's sovereignty over creation, as seen in <a href="/job/38-4.htm">Job 38:4-6</a>, where God questions Job about the foundations of the earth. The mountains serve as a reminder of God's majesty and the awe-inspiring nature of His works.<p><b>having girded Yourself with might</b><br>This phrase portrays God as a warrior prepared for action, a common biblical motif. The imagery of girding oneself is associated with readiness and strength, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/6-14.htm">Ephesians 6:14</a>, where believers are instructed to gird themselves with truth. God's might is a recurring theme throughout the Psalms, emphasizing His ability to protect and deliver His people (<a href="/psalms/24-8.htm">Psalm 24:8</a>). The concept of divine might is also linked to God's role as the ultimate judge and ruler, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/40-10.htm">Isaiah 40:10</a>, where God comes with power to rule and reward.
