Psalm 89:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 You created the north and the south;[a]
Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.

your right hand is forever raised high.
15 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
kindness and faithfulness go before your face.[b]
Footnotes
- Psalm 89:13 The north and the south: some believe that the Hebrew words for these two geographical poles (saphon and yamin) are the names of two sacred mountains in northern Syria: Mount Zaphon (see Ps 48:3 and note; Jos 13:27; Jdg 12:1; Isa 14:13) and Mount Amana (see Song 4:8), paralleling the mountains Tabor and Hermon (which also stand for east and west). Tabor: a low mountain in the Valley of Jezreel in northern Israel. Hermon: a tall mountain in Lebanon that marks the southern limit of the Anti-Lebanon range. Joyously praise: see note on Ps 65:14.
- Psalm 89:15 The divine attributes are personified (see Pss 85:11-12; 97:2).
