Psaumes 77:1 BDS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 77:1

Psalms 77:1. I cried unto God, &c. This verse seems to contain the sum of the whole Psalm, consisting of two parts, namely, his earnest cry to God in his deep distress, and God’s gracious answer to his prayers, by supporting him under his troubles, and giving him assurance of a good issue out of them; of both which he speaks distinctly and particularly as he proceeds in the Psalm. 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

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

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

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

John Dummelow

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
