Salmos 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 ) .

Salmos 77:1 In-Context

1 Levanto a Deus a minha voz; a Deus levanto a minha voz, para que ele me ouça.

2 No dia da minha angústia busco ao Senhor; de noite a minha mão fica estendida e não se cansa; a minha alma recusa ser consolada.

3 Lembro-me de Deus, e me lamento; queixo-me, e o meu espírito desfalece.

4 Conservas vigilantes os meus olhos; estou tão perturbado que não posso falar.

5 Considero os dias da antigüidade, os anos dos tempos passados.
