Salmos 77:1-6

1 Con mi voz clamé a Dios, a Dios clamé, y él me escuchó

2 Al Señor busqué en el día de mi angustia; mi llaga desangraba de noche y no cesaba; mi alma no quería consuelo

3 Me acordaba de Dios, y gritaba; me quejaba, y desmayaba mi espíritu. (Selah.

4 Tenías los párpados de mis ojos abiertos; estaba yo quebrantado, y no hablaba

5 Consideraba los días desde el principio, los años de los siglos

6 Me acordaba de mis canciones de noche; meditaba con mi corazón, y mi espíritu inquiría

Salmos 77:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. Jeduthun was the name of the chief musician, to whom this psalm was inscribed and sent; see 1 Chronicles 25:1, though Aben Ezra takes it to be the first word of some song, to the tune of which this was sung; and the Midrash interprets it of the subject of the psalm, which is followed by Jarchi, who explains it thus, "concerning the decrees and judgments which passed upon Israel;" that is, in the time of their present captivity, to which, as he, Kimchi, and Arama think, the whole psalm belongs. Some interpreters refer it to the affliction of the Jews in Babylon, so Theodoret; or under Ahasuerus, or Antiochus; and others to the great and last distress of the church under antichrist; though it seems to express the particular case of the psalmist, and which is common to other saints.
