‏ Psalms 36:6

6 Your justice is like the highest mountains, ^{▼▼tn Heb “mountains of God.” The divine name אֵל (ʾel, “God”) is here used in an idiomatic manner to indicate the superlative.}
your fairness like the deepest sea;
you, Lord, preserve ^{▼▼tn Or “deliver.”} mankind and the animal kingdom. ^{▼▼sn 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.}
