GOD is more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. ~ (Psalm 76:4)

Mountains of Prey are areas where wild beasts wander and prey on weaker animals. In this context, they signify the kingdoms and empires of this world, with their eminence and strength.  These kingdoms and empires are called 'mountains of prey', because they are often possessed and governed by haughtiness, greed, extortion, and oppression.

God is excellent, more powerful, and higher than the rulers of these kingdoms and all other worldly power. These kingdoms shall all pass away, but the Kingdom of God shall remain forever.

GOD of Abraham, GOD of Isaac, and GOD of Jacob ~ (Exodus 3:6)

This is one Name God wants to be remembered by in all generations (Exodus 3:15).  It expresses who He is to His people.  God proved Himself as a Covenant-Keeping God by keeping the promise He made to Abraham to give him a son and make a great nation out of him. He proved Himself as a Faithful God, when He provided a ram to be sacrificed instead of Isaac.  He proved Himself as a Merciful God, when He changed Jacob's name to Israel, and gave him a new life.

God made a covenant first in Abraham, and renewed it in Isaac and Jacob. If you belong to Christ, you are Abraham's spiritual seed and an heir of his blessings (Galatians 3:29). Let it be known that God is faithful to all His promises, and unchangeable in His nature.
