Psalm 113
1. An exhortation to praise God for his excellence
6. For his mercy














From the rising of the sun
This phrase poetically captures the idea of the entire span of a day, from dawn to dusk. In Hebrew, the word for "rising" is "מִמִּזְרַח" (mimizrach), which literally means "from the east." This not only refers to the physical act of the sun rising but also symbolizes the beginning of all things, the start of life, and the renewal of God's mercies each morning. Historically, the rising sun was a powerful symbol in ancient Near Eastern cultures, often associated with divine presence and favor. In the context of Psalm 113, it emphasizes the omnipresence and eternal nature of God's praise, suggesting that from the very start of the day, God is to be acknowledged and worshipped.

to the place where it sets
This phrase completes the thought initiated by the rising of the sun, indicating the full course of the day. The Hebrew word for "sets" is "מְבוֹאוֹ" (mevo'o), meaning "its going down" or "its entrance," which can also imply the end of a journey. This suggests that God's praise is not limited to a specific time or place but is continuous and universal. The imagery of the sun setting in the west complements the rising in the east, symbolizing the totality of creation and the comprehensive nature of God's dominion. It reflects the biblical theme of God's sovereignty over all the earth, as seen in other scriptures that speak of His glory filling the whole world.

the name of the LORD
In Hebrew, "the name of the LORD" is "שֵׁם יְהוָה" (shem YHWH). The "name" in biblical terms often represents the character, authority, and reputation of a person. In this context, it signifies the essence and majesty of God Himself. The use of "LORD" in all capital letters is a translation convention for the divine name YHWH, the sacred and covenantal name of God revealed to Moses. This name is deeply significant in the Hebrew tradition, representing God's eternal existence, faithfulness, and unchanging nature. The invocation of God's name in this verse underscores the call to worship and reverence, acknowledging His supreme authority and holiness.

is worthy of praise
The Hebrew word for "worthy of praise" is "מְהֻלָּל" (mehullal), which means "to be praised" or "to be celebrated." This word conveys the idea of giving honor and glory to God, recognizing His greatness and deeds. The phrase suggests that God's inherent nature and actions make Him deserving of continuous adoration and worship. In the conservative Christian perspective, this is a call to believers to live a life of worship, acknowledging God's sovereignty and grace in every aspect of life. It is a reminder that praise is not just an act of worship but a response to who God is and what He has done, both in creation and in the lives of His people.

Verse 3. - From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same (comp. Malachi 1:3; i.e. all over the world, from the furthest east to the furthest west. The Lord's Name is to be praised; or, "praised be the Name of the Lord" (Kay).
