Psalms 77:1 «To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. » I cried unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
A Psalm of Asaph] Or, for Asaph; David's melancholy psalm some call it, made by him when he was in grievous affliction and desertion. Out of which he seeketh to wind by earnest prayer, by deep meditation upon God's former favours and unchangeable nature; and, lastly, by calling to mind God's wondrous works of old, both in proving and in preserving his Church and chosen.
Ver. 1. I cried unto God with my voice, &c.] I prayed instantly and constantly, and sped accordingly. No faithful prayer is ineffectual.
