"Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth,.... Of the whole world, and each of the nations, as of the land of Canaan, so of others, Deu 32:8 ,
and even has fixed and settled the bounds of every man's habitation, Act 17:26 , thou hast made summer and winter; see Gen 8:22 , which, taken literally, are great benefits to the world; and, figuratively understood, may represent the two dispensations of the law and Gospel; see Sol 2:11 , and the different frames of God's people when under temptations, and clouds, and darkness, and when they enjoy peace and comfort; and the different state of the church, when affected with affliction, persecution, false doctrine, deadness, and formality, which is now greatly the case; but there is a summer coming, when it will be otherwise; see Luk 21:30 .
