Psalm 113:3

Last month, Concordia University Wisconsin tweeted Psalm 113:3:


I'd realized before that "from the rising of the sun to its setting" is a merism, but I had been thinking about it merely temporally:  from morning to night.  The paraphrase "from east to west" made me realize that it can also be taken spatially:  all over the world.
