Psalms 74:16 Context
14Thou brakest the heads of Leuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to bee meat to the people inhabiting the wildernesse. 15Thou didst cleaue the fountaine and the flood: thou driedst vp mightie riuers. 16The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne. 17Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made Summer and Winter. 18Remember this, that the enemie hath reproached, O Lord, and that the foolish people haue blasphemed thy Name.
