Psalms 74:16

Compare all

14 You broke the heads of¹ Leviathan in pieces,
And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

15 ^aYou broke open the fountain and the flood;
^bYou dried up mighty rivers.

16 The day is Yours, the night also is ^aYours;
^bYou have prepared the light and the sun.

17 You have ^aset all the borders of the earth;
^bYou have made summer and winter.

18 Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O Lord,
And that a foolish people has blasphemed Your name.

19 Oh, do not deliver the life of Your turtledove to the wild beast!
Do not forget the life of Your poor forever.

Psalms 74:16

The day is thine, the night also is thine - Thou hast universal dominion. All things are under thy control. Thou hast power, therefore, to grant what we desire of thee.

Thou hast prepared the light and the sun - He who has made the sun - that greatest and noblest object of creation to the view of man - must have almighty power, and must be able to give what we need.
