Psalms 74:16
14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan; You fed him to the creatures of the desert.
15 You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up the ever-flowing rivers.
The day is Yours, and also the night; You established the moon and the sun.
17 You set all the boundaries of the earth; You made the summer and winter.
18 Remember how the enemy has mocked You, O LORD, how a foolish people has spurned Your name.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
