The Hebrew word for "far away" (רָחוֹק, rachoq) suggests not just physical distance but also the expansiveness of God's influence. Historically, this can be seen in the way God's reputation and acts were known beyond Israel, affecting neighboring nations. The awe of God transcends geographical boundaries, reminding us that His presence and works are recognized and revered by all, regardless of location.<p><b>fear Your wonders</b><br />The word "fear" (יָרֵא, yare) in Hebrew often conveys a sense of awe and reverence rather than terror. It reflects a deep respect for God's miraculous deeds. "Wonders" (מוֹפֵת, mopheth) refers to extraordinary acts that reveal God's power and divine nature. Throughout scripture, God's wonders serve as signs of His sovereignty and faithfulness, prompting reverence among those who witness or hear of them. This reverence is not limited to Israel but extends to all who observe God's mighty works.<p><b>You make the dawn and sunset</b><br />This phrase poetically captures God's control over creation. The regularity of dawn and sunset symbolizes God's order and faithfulness. The Hebrew words for "dawn" (בֹּקֶר, boqer) and "sunset" (עֶרֶב, ereb) emphasize the daily cycle that God orchestrates. In the ancient Near Eastern context, where celestial bodies were often deified, this verse asserts that it is the God of Israel who commands these natural phenomena, underscoring His supreme authority over creation.<p><b>shout for joy</b><br />The imagery of creation itself rejoicing is powerful. The Hebrew word for "shout" (רָנַן, ranan) conveys a sense of jubilant singing or shouting. This personification of nature reflects the joy and praise that God's creation inherently expresses. It serves as a reminder that all of creation is designed to glorify God, and it invites believers to join in this cosmic chorus of praise. The joy of dawn and sunset symbolizes the hope and renewal that God brings each day, encouraging us to find joy in His continual presence and provision.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/65.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(8) <span class= "bld">They also . . .</span>--Or, <span class= "ital">So they.</span><p><span class= "bld">The outgoings . . .</span>--A pregnant expression for the <span class= "ital">rising of the morning and setting of the evening sun. </span>East and west.<p><span class= "bld">To rejoice.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">to sing for joy. </span>The whole earth from one utmost bound to the other is vocal with praise of the Creator and Ruler of the universe.
