Psalms 77:1-7 Meaning and Commentary
Taken from
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Psalms 77:1-7 In-Context
1
I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me.
2
When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted.
3
I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.
4
You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.
5
I thought about the former days, the years of long ago;
6
I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7
“Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?
8
Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time?
9
Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?”
10
Then I thought, “To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
11
I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
