Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - The day is thine, the night also is thine; thou hast prepared the light and the sun (see Genesis 1:5, 15, 16); rather, thou hast prepared him light and sun. "Luminary" (מָאור) is probably a class name for the heavenly lights generally. The sun is then particularized, as so much the most important of the luminaries. But the result is "an imperfect parallelism" (Cheyne).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16-18) An appeal from the God of history to the God of nature. Not only did He work wonders, but even the universe is the work of His hand.(16) The light and the sun.--Evidently from Genesis 1:14; Genesis 1:16, where the same word occurs for the heavenly luminary generally, and then for the sun as chief.
