Psalms 68:15
“The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.”
What does Psalms 68:15 mean?
These mountains in ancient Bashan (in what's now northern Israel and Syria) were known for being steep, rocky, and imposing, with thick forests. The psalmist is celebrating God's power by describing the grandeur of creation itself, suggesting that if such formidable natural landmarks exist, how much more impressive is the God who made them. There's something comforting here for people facing their own rocky terrain: the same God who shaped these immovable mountains is present in our struggles too.
