“Why leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.”
The rhetorical question asking why the mighty mountains look with envy at the mountain where God has chosen to dwell establishes God's choice of Zion as the dwelling place. The personification of mountains as envious suggests that even creation recognizes the preeminence of God's chosen location. This verse emphasizes that God's dwelling place is the center of cosmic significance.
