Read in context

Psalms 74:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

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.

18 Remember how the enemy has mocked You, O LORD, how a foolish people has spurned Your name.
