Verse 16 is found in chapter 74 of Psalms. Psalm 74 laments the destruction of the sanctuary and the apparent victory of those who despise God’s name. The community remembers the Lord’s ancient creative and saving actions as the foundation for its present request. The destruction of the temple is interpreted as a crisis of identity and worship, not merely an architectural loss. The conclusion asks God to remember his covenant and not permanently hand his people over to their enemies.

Tag und Nacht ist dein; du machst, daß Sonne und Gestirn ihren gewissen Lauf haben.
Tuyo es el día, tuya también es la noche: Tú aparejaste la luna y el sol.
Tuyo es el día y tuya también la noche; tú estableciste la lumbrera y el sol.
A toi est le jour, à toi est la nuit; Tu as créé la lumière et le soleil.
Tuo è il giorno, tua eziandio è la notte; Tu hai ordinata la luna e il sole.
Teu é o dia e tua é a noite; preparaste a luz e o sol.
白晝屬你,黑夜也屬你; 亮光和太陽是你預備的。
