Context of Psalms 77:10
8Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore? 9Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah And I said, “This is my anguish; But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.” 11I will remember the works of the Lord; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old. 12I will also meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds.
