Commentary on Psalms 77:15

Theological / Devotional

Thine arm. The arm is the symbol of strength (see Ex. 6:6; 15:16; Ps. 10:15 ;98:1).

Redeemed. The miracle of Israel’s deliverance from Egypt is brought forth as a supreme example of God’s power to save and hence as a pledge of His continual power to save His people (see Ps. 78:12, 13 ; 106:21, 22; 114:1–5; etc.).

Jacob and Joseph. Jacob is mentioned obviously because he was the father of the twelve tribes; Joseph, probably because he played so important a part in the affairs of Egypt.

Selah. See p. 629.
