The mountains saw You and quaked The imagery of "The mountains saw You and quaked;" evokes a powerful sense of God's majesty and authority over creation. In the Hebrew text, the word for "mountains" is "הָרִים" (harim), which often symbolizes stability and permanence. Yet, even these seemingly immovable giants respond to God's presence with trembling. This reflects the biblical theme that all of creation is subject to the Creator's will.

The quaking of the mountains signifies a theophany, a visible manifestation of God, emphasizing His supreme power and holiness.
