Psalms 74 — Context

For from the past God is my King, working salvation in the earth.

The sea was parted in two by your strength; the heads of the great sea-beasts were broken.

The heads of the great snake were crushed by you; you gave them as food to the fishes of the sea.

You made valleys for fountains and springs; you made the ever-flowing rivers dry.

The day is yours and the night is yours: you made the light and the sun.

By you all the limits of the earth were fixed; you have made summer and winter.

Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.
