Psalm 77:11
I will remember the LORD’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.
9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” Selah.
10Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11I will remember the LORD’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.
12I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.
13Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?
Notice
The repeated “I will remember” marks a turn from questions about God’s compassion toward his past deeds, while the distress remains part of the prayer.
