Psalm 77:10 NIV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 77:10

Psalms 77:10. And I said I thus answered these objections; This is my infirmity These suspicions of God’s faithfulness and goodness proceed from the weakness of my faith, and from the mistake of a diseased mind. But I will remember the years, &c. That is, the years in which God hath done great and glorious works, which are often ascribed to God’s right hand in the Scriptures. It may be proper to observe here, that as the word שׁנות , shenoth, here rendered years, also signifies ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 77:1-20

Psalms 77:0 Has God’s favour of old changed?Once again Asaph has a problem that is causing him much anxiety. (For his earlier problem see Psalms 73:0.) He cries to God in his distress but receives no answer (1-2). The more he thinks of God’s dealings with him, the more distressed he becomes. It seems that God not only refuses to comfort him, but even prevents him from sleeping (3-4). So as he lies awake on his bed, he thinks of God’s kindness to him in days gone by (5-6). God was gracious to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 77:1-20

Psalms 77Asaph described himself as tossing and turning on his bed, unable to sleep, in this individual lament psalm. He found that meditating on God’s deliverance of His people in the Exodus brought him comfort. This led him to ask God to manifest His power for His people again. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 77:10-15

Psalms 77:10 means the psalmist felt his sorrow stemmed from God withdrawing His powerful right hand from his life. In other words, God was not answering his prayers and coming to his aid as He had done in the past.This remembrance led Asaph to concentrate on God’s great acts for His people in the past."The remembrance of the age-old acts of God is the basis for faith." [Note: VanGemeren, p. 502.] God’s way is holy (Psalms 77:13) in that it is different from the ways of men; it is perfectly... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 77:1-20

The Ps. records the writer’s experience of personal perplexity and darkness, which, however, has been caused by the contemplation of Israel’s national distress. It may be dated appropriately in the time of the exile. Psalms 77:1-3 describe the Psalmist’s trouble, in which even prayer has brought no comfort. Psalms 77:4-9 speak of his meditations on the brighter past, which lead to the question whether God has finally rejected His people. In Psalms 77:10-20 he turns for comfort to the story of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 77:10

(10) And I said . . .—The word rendered “infirmity” may, by derivation, mean “wounding” or “piercing.” So Symmachus, “my wound;” Aquila, “my sickness.” Gesenius says, “that which makes my sickness.” If we keep this meaning we must understand mental sickness or “madness,” and understand the poet to say that to indulge in despairing cries is mere madness (comp. King Lear’s, “Oh! that way madness lies”), he will recall God’s ancient deliverances, and so re-establish his faith. But it seems more... read more
