The psalm closes with a stunning reversal: the worshippers have been summoned to bless Yahweh (vv. 1–2); now YHWH blesses them in return—and the source is Zion, the mountain where earth and Heaven intersect. Oseh shamayim va'aretz is a participial phrase—'the Maker of skies and land'—an ongoing identity, not merely a past act: He who is constantly creating is the One who blesses from Zion. Shamayim in its ancient sense denotes the visible sky-dome, the physical cosmos above; F.O.G. renders it 'skies' to honor that concrete cosmology. F.O.G.M. uses 'heavens and earth' to draw out the full theological merism—the totality of all reality, seen and unseen—and to echo the great Aaronic benediction of Num. 6:24–26, which this verse typologically fulfils: Yahweh blessing His people from His dwelling place. As the final Song of Ascents (Ps. 120–134), this psalm is both a liturgical send-off for pilgrims departing the temple and an eschatological promise: the blessing flows not from Zion alone but from the One whose creative sovereignty encompasses all things.
