Wesley's Notes

74:16 The light - The moon, the lesser light.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

16, 17. The fixed orders of nature and bounds of earth are of God.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

74:12-17 The church silences her own complaints. What God had done for his people, as their King of old, encouraged them to depend on him. It was the Lord's doing, none besides could do it. This providence was food to faith and hope, to support and encourage in difficulties. The God of Israel is the God of nature. He that is faithful to his covenant about the day and the night, will never cast off those whom he has chosen. We have as much reason to expect affliction, as to expect night and winter. But we have no more reason to despair of the return of comfort, than to despair of day and summer. And in the world above we shall have no more changes.


Genesis 1:14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;
Psalm 104:19 He made the moon for the seasons; The sun knows the place of its setting.
Psalm 136:7 To Him who made the great lights, For His lovingkindness is everlasting:
Psalm 136:8 The sun to rule by day, For His lovingkindness is everlasting, (NASB ©1995)
