They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
Even people who live in the most distant places are amazed and filled with awe at your signs. You make the sunrise and sunset bring joy to everyone.
This verse says that God's powerful works inspire awe even in the remotest places on earth, and He causes both morning and evening to be times of joy and celebration.
