Psalms 77:10-15

Psalms 77:10 means the psalmist felt his sorrow stemmed from God withdrawing His powerful right hand from his life. In other words, God was not answering his prayers and coming to his aid as He had done in the past.

This remembrance led Asaph to concentrate on God’s great acts for His people in the past.

"The remembrance of the age-old acts of God is the basis for faith." [Note: VanGemeren, p. 502.]

God’s way is holy (Psalms 77:13) in that it is different from the ways of men; it is perfectly correct. Yahweh is unique among the so-called gods of the nations. He had done mighty deeds and performed great miracles for Israel in the past. The greatest example of this is the Exodus, when the Lord redeemed the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Perhaps the writer described the Israelites this way to draw attention to their unworthiness.
