Psalms 74:12-17 - Exposition

Comfort springs from the thought of God's previous deliverances of his people, and of his other great mercies. The deliverance from Egypt has the foremost place ( Psalms 74:13 , Psalms 74:14 ), as the most striking. Then the deliverance from the wilderness, and the passage of Jordan ( Psalms 74:15 ). From these the poet passes to God's mercies in nature—day and night, light and sun, set bounds of earth and sea, alternations of the seasons—all formed and arranged by the Almighty ( Psalms 74:16 , Psalms 74:17 ).
