Honestly i don't understand i am having a problem visualizing vs 5,6 god is saying he makes the cedars of lebonon to skip like. a calf also he says that about mountains in other parts of his word.what is god saying and doing when he makes his mountains and trees spring like calfs , goats honestly i am confused.will someone please comment thank you
the tree is strong and high above all others , it is speaking of the proud and boastful sinners like look at me I am so great, that they will be brought low by the voice of the Lord verse 6 I am still trying to study, the lightening makes them bound like antelope upon the mountains
The Psalms use poetic language. Calves jump and play, happy to be alive. Mountains, hills and trees sway with the wind, much like the calves playing. It shows all of God's creation praising Him and lifting the spirit of man with the 'awe' of God's handy work. We should learn to be happy to be alive and look for the good in this life. The poetry of the Bible is the finest available to us.
