Psalms 77:11

"Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”"

Key Reflection

This verse suggests a reflection on God's past interventions and sovereignty, indicating that the psalmist finds hope and confidence in recalling the Lord’s mighty deeds and faithful guidance throughout history. By appealing to these "years of the right hand of the Most High," the psalmist seeks assurance that God's power and protection remain constant, even in times of distress.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

I will remember the works of the Lord -That is, I will call them to remembrance, or I will reflect on them. I will look to what God has “done,” that I may learn his true character, or that I may see what is the proper interpretation to be put on his doings in respect to the question whether he is righteous or not; whether it is proper to put confidence in him or not. Or, in other words, I will examine those doings to see if I cannot find in them something to calm down my feelings; to remove my despondency; and to give me cheerful views of God.
