Psalms 113:3 (NIV)

Psalms 113:3 (NIV) says:

“From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.”

Here’s what it really teaches:

1. Unceasing praise – The verse covers the whole day, from sunrise to sunset. It shows that God deserves continual worship, not just in special moments but throughout life.

2. Universal praise – “From the rising… to the place where it sets” also hints at geography. It means God’s name should be praised everywhere on earth, across nations and peoples, not just in Israel.

3. God’s greatness and worthiness – The psalm emphasizes that the Lord is so great and exalted that His name is worthy of honor at all times and in all places.

👉 In simple terms: God’s name is to be honored constantly and everywhere because His greatness is not limited by time or location.
