Psalm 77
Dear Jennie:
- vs. 1-2: Asaph cries out to God in the day and stretches out his hand to God all night.
- vs. 3-9: I think the summary here is that when Asaph ponders in his mind and soul about God he is questioning Him: Is God rejecting him? Will God not keep him promises? Will God not be gracious? Is He angry and without compassion?
- vs. 10: Do you think this means that God didn't change Asaph's circumstances but He did comfort his grief by reminding him of the history of God's faithfulness?
- vs. 11-15: God's wonders, work, deeds, way, strength and power. This is what Asaph will choose to meditate on (Psalm 19:14). I tend to think of God's wonders and works summed up as 1. Creation 2. Salvation. He is the author of both.
- vs. 16-20: My notes say Asaph is describing the displays of God's power in delivering his people from slavery in Egypt.
Love!
