Psalms 36:6

“Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains, etc.] Or, “the mountains of God”; so called for their excellency, as the cedars of God, (<198010>Psalm 80:10); or, as Gussetius f511 observes, the greatest and highest mountains, which are here meant, reaching above the clouds and the region of the air, are the pillars of the palace of God, and a part of it; and therefore called his mountains with great propriety, to which his righteousness is compared: that is, either the righteousness of God in the government of the world, which is sometimes like the high mountains, not to be reached and accounted for in the present state of things, though always is, and is immovable as they are; or the…”
