Psalms 74:16,17

Here is a beautiful acknowledgment of God, in his works of nature and providence, who had before been adored in his works of grace: and perhaps in allusion to the Lord's appearing for his people in times of danger, when in the wars of Joshua and in that of Deborah and Barak, the Lord arrested the course of nature, and caused the sun and the stars to fight for Israel. Joshua 10:12; Judges 5:20. It is probable also, that the Lord is here reminded of his covenant engagements to his people, that he who is faithful in sending the regular return of day and night, summer and winter, will be faithful to all his covenant promises. Genesis 8:22. The Lord himself makes an appeal to this, by way of confirmation to his people's faith, Jeremiah 31:36; Jeremiah 31:36.
