Notes

Psalms 77:10

The psalmist is afraid that God's hand of protection (Psalm 44:3; 77:15; Exodus 6:6) and favor (Psalms 16:7–8; 110:1) are now against him for no clear reason.

Psalms 77:10–12

The memories of God’s mighty works in the past fill the psalmist’s mind.

Psalms 77:1–20

The psalmist laments that God has turned away from him, even though he feels innocent. He reflects on his situation (Psalm 77:3, 6, 12) and finds hope (see 25:5) in remembering God's past actions (77:11).
