Psalm 77
E.W. Bullinger

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 77:1
PSALM 77THE PROBLEM OF HANDLING DOUBT IN DIFFICULT TIMESThe big factor in this psalm is the problem of doubt. It appears to us that Dummelow's analysis of this psalm is as good as any. And from that understanding of it, it is not hard to figure out why the psalmist is almost overcome with doubt."Here we have the psalmist's experience of personal perplexity and darkness, caused by the contemplation of Israel's national distress. It may be dated approximately in the time of the exile: (1) Psalms... read more

AN EXPRESSION OF THE PSALMIST'S DOUBTS"Thou holdest mine eyes watching;I am so troubled that I cannot speak.I have considered the days of old,The years of ancient times.I call to remembrance my song in the night:I commune with mine own heart;And my spirit maketh diligent search.Will the Lord cast off forever?And will he be favorable no more?Is his lovingkindness clean gone forever?Doth his promise fail forever more?Hath God forgotten to be gracious?Hath he in anger shut up his tender... read more

THE HISTORY OF GOD'S LOVE OF ISRAEL ENCOURAGING"And I said, This is my infirmity;But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah;For I will remember thy wonders of old.I will meditate also upon all thy work,And muse on thy doings.Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:Who is a great God like unto God?Thou art the God that doest wonders:Thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people,The... read more

THE MARVELOUS MIRACLE AT THE RED SEA"The waters saw thee, O God;The waters saw thee, they were afraid:The depths also trembled.The clouds poured out water;The skies sent out a sound:Thine arrows also went abroad.The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind;The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook.Thy way was in the sea,And thy paths in the great waters,And thy footsteps were not known."Dummelow considered these words a reference to the Red Sea crossing; and McCullough... read more

GOD'S GUIDANCE OF ISRAEL IN THE WILDERNESS"Thou leddest thy people like a flock,By the hand of Moses and Aaron."This was another of the mighty works of God upon which the psalmist had resolved to meditate; and this was indeed a wonder. The manna from heaven, the water from the rock, the victories over enemies, the bitter waters made sweet, the thunders of Sinai, the giving of the Law, etc., etc. There was never anything else in the history of mankind that deserves to be compared with what God... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 77:1
Psalms 77:0. The Psalmist sheweth what fierce combat he had with diffidence; and the victory which he had by the consideration of God's great and gracious works. To the chief musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. Title. מזמור ףּלאס ידותון על למנצח lamnatseach al ieduthun leasaph mizmor.] Whoever was the author of this psalm, he was manifestly under a great dejection of mind when he penned it. He speaks of himself as deserted of God, and given up to be a prey to the sorrows of his own... read more
