Jerome's Latin Vulgate
Proverbia 74:17
et invocabimus nomen tuum;
narrabimus mirabilia tua.
Cum accepero tempus,
ego justitias judicabo.
Liquefacta est terra et omnes qui habitant in ea:
ego confirmavi columnas ejus.
Dixi iniquis: Nolite inique agere:
et delinquentibus: Nolite exaltare cornu:
nolite extollere in altum cornu vestrum;
nolite loqui adversus Deum iniquitatem.
Quia neque ab oriente, neque ab occidente,
neque a desertis montibus:
quoniam Deus judex est.
Hunc humiliat, et hunc exaltat:
quia calix in manu Domini vini meri, plenus misto.
Et inclinavit ex hoc in hoc;
verumtamen fæx ejus non est exinanita:
bibent omnes peccatores terræ.
Ego autem annuntiabo in sæculum;
cantabo Deo Jacob:
et omnia cornua peccatorum confringam,
et exaltabuntur cornua justi.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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, Deuteronomy 32:8, and even has fixed and settled the bounds of every man's habitation, Acts 17:26,
thou hast made summer and winter; see Genesis 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 Song of Solomon 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 Luke 21:30.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth - Thou hast established all the boundaries of the world; that is, the boundaries of the earth itself; or the natural bonndaries of nations and people, made by seas, mountains, rivers, and deserts. The language in regard to the first of these - the earth itself - would be derived from the prevalent mode of speaking, as if the earth were a plane, and had limits - a common mode of expression in the Scriptures, as it is in all ancient writings, and in the common language of men, even of philosophers. In regard to the latter idea, the language would imply that God had fixed, by his own power and will, all the natural boundaries of nations, or that his dominion is over all the earth. There are natural boundaries, or arrangements in nature, which tend to break up the one great family of man into separate nations, and which seem to have been designed for that. Compare Acts 17:26. Over all these God presides, and he has his own great plans to accomplish by the arrangement.
Thou hast made summer and winter - literally, as in the margin, “Summer and winter, thou hast made them.” That is, he has so made the earth that these various seasons will occur. The fact that there are different seasons of the year, or that the year is divided into seasons, is to be traced to the agency of God. He has so made the world that these changes will take place. Nothing is the result of chance; all things in the arrangements of nature are by his design.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 74:17. Thou hast set all the borders of the earth — Thou alone art the Author of all its grand geographical divisions.
Thou hast made summer and winter. — Thou hast appointed that peculiarity in the poise and rotation of the earth, by which the seasons are produced.
