76:5. My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not. 76:6. I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years. 76:7. And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit. 76:8. Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again? 76:9. Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation? 76:10. Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies? 76:11. And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High. 76:12. I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning. 76:13. And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions. 76:14. Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God? 76:15. Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations: 76:16. With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph. 76:17. The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled. 76:18. Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass: 76:19. The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled. 76:20. Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known. 76:21. Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron. Psalms Chapter 77 Attendite. God's great benefits to the people of Israel, notwithstanding their ingratitude. 77:1. Understanding for Asaph. Attend, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 77:2. I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter propositions from the beginning. Propositions. . .Deep and mysterious sayings. By this it appears that the historical facts of ancient times, commemorated in this psalm, were deep and mysterious: as being figures of great truths appertaining to the time of the New Testament. 77:3. How great things have we heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 77:4. They have not been hidden from their children, in another generation. Declaring the praises of the Lord, and his powers, and his wonders which he hath done. 77:5. And he set up a testimony in Jacob: and made a law in Israel. How great things he commanded our fathers, that they should make the same known to their children: 77:6. That another generation might know them. The children that should be born and should rise up, and declare them to their children. 77:7. That they may put their hope in God and may not forget the works of God: and may seek his commandments. 77:8. That they may not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation. A generation that set not their heart aright: and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
