Psalm 77:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 77:11

I will remember the works of the Lord
His works of creation and providence, his government of the world, and particularly his regard for his own people, and his preservation of them, especially the people of Israel, whom he had not cast off, nor would and so might serve to strengthen his faith, that he would not cast him off for ever: and in like manner, what God has done for his people in a way of grace, in their redemption by Christ, and in a work of grace upon their souls, may be improved to the removing of doubts and fears, and unbelief, and for the strengthening of faith: there is a double reading of this clause, that in the margin is followed by us; but in the text it is written, "I will cause to remember"; that is, I will declare and show forth to others the works of the Lord:

surely I will remember thy wonders of old;
such as were done in Egypt, at the Red sea, and in the wilderness; which exceeded the power and reason of man, and which showed ancient love and old friendship subsisting between God and his people; so the remembrance of God's everlasting love, his ancient covenant, and the grace and blessings given in Christ before the world was, may be of use against despondency, and for the support and encouragement of faith.

Psalm 77:11 In-Context

9 Hat Gott vergessen gnädig zu sein? Hat er im Zorn verschlossen seine Erbarmungen? (Sela.)

10 Da sprach ich: Das ist mein Kranksein. Der Jahre der Rechten des Höchsten,

11 will ich gedenken, der Taten des Jah; denn deiner Wunder von alters her will ich gedenken;

12 und ich will nachdenken über all dein Tun, und über deine Taten will ich sinnen.

13 Gott! Dein Weg ist im Heiligtum; wer ist ein großer Gott wie Gott?
