Psalms 148:9

Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

9. Mountains, and all hills. Towering steeps and swelling knolls alike declare their Creator. All hills are to be consecrated: we have no longer Ebal and Gerizim, the hill of the curse and the hill of the blessing, but all are to rejoice in the name of the Lord. Fruitful trees, and all cedars. Fruit trees and forest trees are equally full of benevolent design, and alike subserve some purpose of love; therefore for all and by all let the great Designer be praised. Varieties in the landscape are produced by the rising and falling of the soil, and by the many kinds of trees which adorn the land: yet all, and all alike, glorify their one Lord. When the trees clap their hands in the wind, or their leaves rustle, they sing out unto the Lord.
