Psalms 74:18

16 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.

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.

20 Consider Your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.

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.
