Psalms 77:2 - Exposition

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord (comp. Genesis 35:3 ; Habakkuk 3:16 ). My sore ran in the night; rather, my band was stretched out in the night (Cook, Cheyne, Revised Version); comp. Psalms 28:2 . And ceased not . He continued in prayer all through the night. My soul refused to be comforted (comp. Genesis 37:35 ; Jeremiah 31:15 ). He was like Jacob when he lost Joseph, or like Rachel weeping for her children.
