“The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof.”
The psalmist opens with the declaration that the Mighty One, God the LORD, has spoken and summoned the earth from the rising of the sun to where it sets. The comprehensive geographical reach—from east to west—emphasizes the universality and authority of God's summons. The image of God summoning the entire earth suggests a convocation or gathering. The opening positions this psalm as a divine pronouncement that addresses all creation. God is presented as the ultimate sovereign speaking to judge and instruct the creation.
