Psalms 50:1

The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.

2 From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.

3 Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
