The Key Word — מְ֝הֻלָּ֗ל, me.hu.Lalgenerated
The word הָלַל (halal) is a verb that means 'to praise' and is used here in the Pual participle form, indicating a passive voice. This construction highlights that the praise is directed towards the LORD, emphasizing the act of being praised rather than the act of praising itself.
This form suggests a communal aspect of worship, where the name of the LORD is celebrated collectively, reinforcing the idea that praise should be a shared experience among all people.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is מְ֝הֻלָּ֗ל, is praised, which governs the structure. The sentence begins with a prepositional phrase indicating the starting point of praise — מִמִּזְרַח־ (from the east) — and continues to a second prepositional phrase that establishes the endpoint — עַד־ (to) — leading to the noun phrase מְבוֹא֑וֹ (its setting).
The structure emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of the praise, stretching from the rising of the sun to its setting, thus framing the entire day as a time for worship.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, מִמִּזְרַח־ is rendered as ἀνατολῶν (from the east), which directly corresponds to the Hebrew meaning of sunrise. This choice reflects a straightforward translation of direction.
The term for praise, מְ֝הֻלָּ֗ל, is translated as αἰνεῖτε, which also conveys the sense of being praised, suggesting a consistent understanding of the act of worship across both texts.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Psalm 113:3 invites everyone to praise the name of the LORD from the rising of the sun in the east to its setting in the west. This shows that worship is meant to be a universal act, not confined to any specific place or time.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

You can participate by actively engaging in worship, whether through prayer, singing, or living out your faith in a way that honors God.

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Sun
(Heb. shemesh), first mentioned along with the moon as the two great luminaries of heaven (Gen. 1:14-18). By their motions and influence they were intended to mark and divide times and seasons. The worship of the sun was one of the oldest forms of false religion (Job 31:26,27), and was common among the Egyptians and Chaldeans and other pagan nations. The Jews were warned against this form of idolatry (Deut. 4:19; 17:3; comp. 2 Kings 23:11; Jer. 19:13).
In the history of "greater light," of the creation the sun is described as "greater light," in contradistinction to the moon, the "lesser light," in conjunction with which it was to serve "for signs and for seasons, and for days, and for years," while its special office was "to rule the day." (Genesis 1:14-16) The "signs" referred to were probably such extraordinary phenomena as eclipses, which were regarded as conveying premonitions of coming events. (Jeremiah 10:2; Matthew 24:29) with Luke 21:25 The joint influence assigned to the sun and moon in deciding the "seasons," both for agricultural operations and for religious festivals, and also in regulating the length and…

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
