From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

From the rising of the sun ... -From the farthest east to the farthest west - the sun in its rising and setting being the remotest object that we see in the horizon. The Lord’s name is to be praised -This does not mean that it “will” be - though that is true; but that it “ought” to be - that it is worthy of universal praise. All people in the east and in the west - everywhere - “should” praise and adore that name.
