• The mountains (which are sometimes figuratively used for seats of government (Psa. 72:3; Rev. 17:9) may be regarded as the pillars of His throne. (Compare Psa. 75:3.)

God is taking cognizance of the events of earth as He is about to judge all on the eternal principle of His own righteousness as displayed in His government. (“Zechariah 6” by E. Dennett)
