What is the context?
The community is called to joyful praise before the Rock of its salvation. Thanksgiving belongs to entering His presence.
The reason is God’s greatness as King and Maker. Depths, mountain peaks, sea, and dry land all belong to Him.
The summons directs praise toward the One on whom the whole world depends. It does not limit His authority to the place where the worshipers happen to stand.
