Psalms 77:7-9

He wondered if God had abandoned him. He also questioned God’s loyal love, six times. Evidently Asaph was awake because of a major problem he faced. In the darkness of night he could see no hope.

"This is a clear example of the value of confessing one’s doubts to God. As the broad misgivings of Psalms 77:7 are spelt out more precisely in Psalms 77:8 f. their inner contradictions come to light, and with them the possibility of an answer." [Note: Kidner, Psalms 73-150, p. 278.]
