Mazmur 74:17

74:17 You set up all the boundaries ¹  of the earth;

you created the cycle of summer and winter. ² 

Mazmur 89:11-12

89:11 The heavens belong to you, as does the earth.

You made the world and all it contains. ³ 

89:12 You created the north and the south.

Tabor and Hermon ⁴  rejoice in your name.

[74:17]  ¹ tn This would appear to refer to geographical boundaries, such as mountains, rivers, and seacoasts. However, since the day-night cycle has just been mentioned (v. 16) and the next line speaks of the seasons, it is possible that “boundaries” here refers to the divisions of the seasons. See C. A. Briggs and E. G. Briggs, Psalms (ICC), 2:156.

[74:17]  ² tn Heb “summer and winter, you, you formed them.”

[89:11]  ³ tn Heb “the world and its fullness, you established them.”

[89:12]  ⁴ sn Tabor and Hermon were two of the most prominent mountains in Palestine.
