you cause those living in the east and west to praise you. 2

so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions 5 from us.

2 tn Heb “the goings out of the morning and the evening you cause to shout for joy.” The phrase “goings out of the morning and evening” refers to the sunrise and sunset, that is, the east and the west.
3 tn Heb “sunrise.”
4 tn Or “sunset.”
5 tn The Hebrew term פֶּשַׁע (pesha’, rebellious act”) is here used metonymically for the guilt such actions produce.
