Psalms 72:3

A church father on this verse
“"Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills justice" [Psalm 72:3]. The mountains are the greater, the hills the less. These are without doubt those which another Psalm hath, "little with great." For those mountains did exult like rams, and those hills like lambs of the sheep, at the departure of Israel…”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — Exposition on Psalm 72
