Psalms 136:7
To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:
136:7. To him that made great lights. This also is a creating miracle worthy of our loudest thanks. What could people have done without light? Though they had the heavens above them, and dry land to move upon, yet what could they see, and where could they go without light? Thanks be to the Lord, who has not consigned us to darkness. In great mercy he has not left us to an uncertain, indistinct light, floating about fitfully, and without order; but he has concentrated light upon two grand luminaries, which, as far as we are concerned, are to us great lights. The psalmist is making a song for common people, not for your critical experts, and so he sings of the sun and moon as they appear to us.
For his mercy endureth for ever. Mercy gleams in every ray of light, and it is most clearly seen in the arrangement by which it is distributed with order and regularity from the sun and moon.
