Psalm 77
1. The psalmist shows what fierce combat he had with distrust
10. The victory which he had by consideration of God's great and gracious works.














With power
The phrase "with power" in Psalm 77:15 emphasizes the might and strength of God. The Hebrew word used here is "בְּזְרוֹעַ" (b'zeroa), which often refers to an arm or strength. This imagery is frequently used in the Old Testament to depict God's ability to deliver and protect His people. Historically, the Israelites would have understood this as a reference to God's mighty acts, such as the deliverance from Egypt. The power of God is not just a physical force but a divine authority that transcends human limitations, offering believers assurance of His sovereign control over all circumstances.

You redeemed
The term "redeemed" comes from the Hebrew "גָּאַל" (ga'al), which means to buy back or to rescue. In the context of the Old Testament, redemption often involves a kinsman-redeemer who restores the rights of a relative. This concept is deeply rooted in the history of Israel, particularly in the Exodus narrative, where God redeems His people from slavery in Egypt. For Christians, this foreshadows the ultimate redemption through Jesus Christ, who redeems humanity from sin. The act of redemption is a powerful testament to God's love and commitment to His covenant people.

Your people
"Your people" refers to the Israelites, God's chosen nation. The Hebrew word "עַמְּךָ" (ammecha) signifies a special relationship between God and Israel. This covenant relationship is central to the Old Testament narrative, where God repeatedly affirms His commitment to His people despite their unfaithfulness. For believers today, this phrase extends to the spiritual Israel, the Church, reminding us of our identity as God's people, called to live in obedience and faithfulness to Him.

The descendants of Jacob and Joseph
This phrase highlights the patriarchal lineage of Israel. Jacob, later named Israel, is the father of the twelve tribes, while Joseph is one of his sons, whose account of betrayal and eventual rise to power in Egypt is a testament to God's providence. The mention of both Jacob and Joseph serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His promises across generations. It underscores the continuity of God's plan and His unwavering commitment to His covenant, encouraging believers to trust in His promises for the future.

Verse 15. - Thou hast with thine arm (i.e. with thy mighty strength) redeemed thy people. The deliverance from Egypt is constantly called a "redemption" (Exodus 6:6; Exodus 15:13; Deuteronomy 7:8; Deuteronomy 9:26, etc.; 2 Samuel 7:23; 1 Chronicles 17:21, etc.). It is brought forward here "as the greatest and most wonderful of all the works of God, and hence as containing the strongest pledge of future deliverance" (Hengstenberg). The sons of Jacob and Joseph. A new designation of the people of Israel, and one which elsewhere occurs only in Obadiah 1:18. Professor Cheyne suggests that it is a geographical division - by Jacob southern Israel, and by Joseph northern Israel, being intended (comp. Hosea 12:2; Amos 5:6, 15; Amos 6:6).
