Psalm 77:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 [a]And I say: “This is my grief—
that the right hand[b] of the Most High has changed.”
12 I will remember the works of the Lord;
I will call to mind your wonders in the past.
13 I will reflect on all your deeds
and ponder your wondrous works.[c]
Footnotes
- Psalm 77:11 The psalmist takes up the Book of History, so to speak, and meditates upon the great deeds of the Lord, the miracles he wrought in the past. He is so captivated by the reading that, in meditating on the glorious deeds that the Lord did for Israel in former times, he obtains peace of mind and forgets his present distress.
- Psalm 77:11 The psalmist remembers the years when God—by means of his right hand—provided strong guidance and protection for his people (see Pss 17:7; 18:35; Isa 41:10). And, he laments the loss of this protection once accorded them by their God.
- Psalm 77:13 The psalmist reflects on the Lord’s works in their great variety—in creation, redemption, judgment, and salvation. See also note on Ps 9:2.
