NETBible

Your justice is like the highest mountains,¹ your fairness like the deepest sea; you preserve² mankind and the animal kingdom.³

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “mountains of God.” The divine name אֵל (’el, “God”) is here used in an idiomatic manner to indicate the superlative.

²tn Or “deliver.”

³sn God’s justice/fairness is firm and reliable like the highest mountains and as abundant as the water in the deepest sea. The psalmist uses a legal metaphor to describe God’s preservation of his creation. Like a just judge who vindicates the innocent, God protects his creation from destructive forces.
