Psalm 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).

Psalm 77:15 In-Context

13 Everything you do, O God, is holy. No god is as great as you.

14 You are the God who works miracles; you showed your might among the nations.

15 By your power you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and of Joseph.

16 When the waters saw you, O God, they were afraid, and the depths of the sea trembled.

17 The clouds poured down rain; thunder crashed from the sky, and lightning flashed in all directions.
