Beauty of holiness is fitting to your house, O Yahweh, for length of days.
Is this an anti-Canaanite hymn? In Canaanite mythology, the battle is between El and Yaman nahar. But this Psalm is saying that Yahweh reigns, not El and that this is above what Yamen Nahar do. For the Canaanite, Yam, the Mediterranean Sea, is God. And Nahar, the river, is a god. Yahweh is above the whole thing, and Yahweh shakes them. His testimonies are utterly reliable.
