In simple words
What does this verse mean?
From sunrise to sunset can picture the whole day and the great reach from east to west. The psalm imagines praise spreading widely. It does not require children to sing without stopping; gratitude can be expressed in different places and simple moments.
Think about someone far away who is beginning their day as yours ends. You could thank God for people and places beyond your own neighbourhood.
