Psalms 72:3

72:3 The mountains will bring news of peace to the people,

and the hills will announce justice. ¹ 

Psalms 93:3

93:3 The waves ²  roar, O Lord,

the waves roar,

the waves roar and crash. ³ 

¹ tn Heb “[the] mountains will bear peace to the people, and [the] hills with justice.” The personified mountains and hills probably represent messengers who will sweep over the land announcing the king’s just decrees and policies. See Isa 52:7 and C. A. Briggs and E. G. Briggs, Psalms (ICC), 2:133.

² tn The Hebrew noun translated “waves” often refers to rivers or streams, but here it appears to refer to the surging waves of the sea (see v. 4, Ps 24:2).

³ tn Heb “the waves lift up, O Lord, the waves lift up their voice, the waves lift up their crashing.”
