• When, instead of communing with self and reasoning with its own misery, it looks to God, the heart sees all this is in itself, not in God. This is the turning point. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 64-77” by J.N. Darby)
• (vv. 10-12) The realization that it is impossible for the sin of God’s people to be greater than the grace of God comes as balm to the troubled soul of the psalmist. He sees that the suggestion that it is possible for God’s people to be cast off arises from the weakness of his mind that has judged of God’s ways towards His people by the way they have acted towards Him. Hence he arrests these thoughts and, instead of recalling his own experiences and the years of ancient times, he now remembers “the years of the right hand of the most High.” (“Psalms 77” by H. Smith)
• But in turning to God their confidence is restored as they realize they have been delivered from their enemies by the judgment of God (vs. 10-20). (“Book 3.” by B. Anstey)
