Context of Psalms 77:10
8Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Have His promises ended for all time? 9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah. And I said, “This is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed [and His lovingkindness is withheld].” 11I will [solemnly] remember the deeds of the Lord; Yes, I will [wholeheartedly] remember Your wonders of old. 12I will meditate on all Your works And thoughtfully consider all Your [great and wondrous] deeds.
