Psalms 74:17
15 You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up the ever-flowing rivers.
16 The day is Yours, and also the night; You established the moon and the sun.
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.
19 Do not deliver the soul of Your dove to beasts; do not forget the lives of Your afflicted forever.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
