Psalmen 77:12 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 77:12

I will meditate also of all thy work
Or "works" F20, which were many; he desired not to forget any of them, but remember the multitude of his tender mercies, and not only call them to mind, but dwell upon them in his meditations and contemplations, in order to gain some relief by them under his present circumstances:

and talk of thy doings:
for the good of others, and so for the glory of God, as well as to imprint them on his own mind, that they might not be forgotten by him; for all things that are talked of, and especially frequently, are better remembered, see ( Psalms 145:4-7 Psalms 145:11 Psalms 145:12 ) , the Targum is,

``I will meditate on all thy good works, and speak of the causes of thy wonders.''

Psalmen 77:12 In-Context

10 Heeft God vergeten genadig te zijn? Heeft Hij Zijn barmhartigheden door toorn toegesloten? Sela.
11 Daarna zeide ik: Dit krenkt mij; maar de rechterhand des Allerhoogsten verandert.
12 Ik zal de daden des HEEREN gedenken; ja, ik zal gedenken Uw wonderen van ouds her;
13 En zal al Uw werken betrachten, en van Uw daden spreken.
14 O God! Uw weg is in het heiligdom; wie is een groot God, gelijk God?
