“The day is Yours, night is Yours, as well” (Psalms 74:16) – the day lauds You and the night lauds You. Just as the day is in Your domain, so the night is in Your domain. When You perform miracles for us during the day, “the day is Yours,” and when You perform miracles for us at night, “night is Yours, as well.” When You perform miracles for us during the day, we recite songs to You during the day.
When You perform miracles for us at night, we recite songs to You at night. You performed miracles for us during the day and we recited songs to You during the day: “Deborah and Barak son of Avinoam sang on [that] day…” (Judges 5:1). You performed miracles for us at night and we recited song to You at night: “The song will be for you, like the night of the consecration of the festival” (Isaiah 30:29).
To You it is appropriate to recite songs during the day; to You it is appropriate to recite songs at night. Why? “You founded light and the sun” (Psalms 74:16). And You made the two lights, as it is stated: “God made the two great lights…” (Genesis 1:16).
