Context Summary
Psalm 77:1–9 reveals Asaph's deep, honest angst. He is so disturbed that he cannot sleep. Even when he tries to understand God, he only becomes more upset. He feels as if the Lord has abandoned him. In fact, it seems as if God has forgotten all His promises to Israel. Asaph does not stop here, however. He will continue to wrestle with these feelings by looking back on what God has done (Psalm 77:10).

Chapter Summary
Asaph struggles to sleep or find peace. Though he seeks to trust in God, he only feels more disturbed. This hardship causes him to question if the Lord has abandoned him, or possibly all the people of Israel. Still, Asaph is committed to remembering what he already knows about God. He remembers how God rescued His people at the Red Sea: with crashing thunder and brilliant lighting that caused the earth to tremble. Using Moses and Aaron, the Lord led Israel through the sea like a shepherd guiding sheep.
