Commentary on Psalms 97:5
Mountains, representing the most stable and permanent features of creation, melting like wax before God demonstrates His absolute power over nature. The phrase 'at the presence of the LORD' (mipne Yahweh) indicates that His mere presence, not exerted effort, causes this melting. The designation 'Lord of the whole earth' (adon kol-ha'arets) asserts universal sovereignty. If mountains cannot stand before God, no human power or institution can resist Him. This verse humbles human pride and assures believers that no obstacle is too great for God.
