Psalms 77:15 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 77:15

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people
The people of Israel out of Egypt, which was typical of the redemption of the Lord's people by Christ, the arm and power of God:

the sons of Jacob and Joseph.
Joseph is particularly mentioned for honour's sake, and because he was the means of supporting Jacob and his family in Egypt; and had special faith in their deliverance from thence; the Targum is,

``the sons whom Jacob begot, and Joseph nourished.''

Selah. (See Gill on Psalms 3:2).

Psalms 77:15 In-Context

13 O God! Your way is holy! No god is great like God!
14 You're the God who makes things happen; you showed everyone what you can do -
15 You pulled your people out of the worst kind of trouble, rescued the children of Jacob and Joseph.
16 Ocean saw you in action, God, saw you and trembled with fear; Deep Ocean was scared to death.
17 Clouds belched buckets of rain, Sky exploded with thunder, your arrows flashing this way and that.
