What does Psalm 77:11 mean?
Please see our chapter commentary on Psalm 77, verse-level content coming soon!Psalm 77:10–20 follows a pattern seen in psalms associated with Asaph. He often begins with a sense of bitterness or despair (Psalm 73:2–3; 74:1–3). Yet he always returns to the truths of God's character and his faith is renewed (Psalm 73:15–18; 74:12–23). In this case, he is so upset that he cannot sleep (Psalm 77:1–3). Yet he commits to what he already knows of the Lord. That brings him back to reassurance.
Asaph struggles to sleep or find peace. Though he seeks to trust in God, he only feels more disturbed. This hardship causes him to question if the Lord has abandoned him, or possibly all the people of Israel. Still, Asaph is committed to remembering what he already knows about God. He remembers how God rescued His people at the Red Sea: with crashing thunder and brilliant lighting that caused the earth to tremble. Using Moses and Aaron, the Lord led Israel through the sea like a shepherd guiding sheep.
