Psaume 77:1 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 77:1

I cried unto God with my voice
Which is to be understood of prayer, and that vocal, and which is importunate and fervent, being made in distress; see ( Psalms 3:4 ) , or "my voice was unto God" ^F8, "and I cried"; it was directed to him, and expressed in a very loud and clamorous way:

even unto God with my voice;
or "my voice was unto God"; which is repeated to show that he prayed again and again, with great eagerness and earnestness, his case being a very afflicted one:

and he gave ear unto me;
his prayer was not without success; God is a God hearing and answering prayer, according to his promise, ( Psalms 50:15 ) .

Psaume 77:1 In-Context

1 Au maître-chantre, des Jéduthunites. Psaume d'Asaph.

2 Ma voix s'adresse à Dieu, et je crie, ma voix s'adresse à Dieu, et il m'écoutera.

3 Au jour de ma détresse, j'ai cherché le Seigneur; la nuit, ma main était étendue vers lui et ne se lassait point; mon âme refusait d'être consolée.

4 Je me souvenais de Dieu, et je gémissais; je méditais, et mon esprit était abattu. Sélah (pause).

5 Tu avais retenu mes yeux dans les veilles; j'étais troublé, je ne pouvais parler.
