In Psalm 77:7-10, the psalmist voices deep uncertainty in asking, Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again? (v. 7). In this moment of anguish, his questions reveal a heartfelt concern over whether God has withdrawn His presence for good. Such language shows the intensity of his current crisis — a lament echoed by many faithful individuals who have felt distant from the Lord’s blessings.
This sense of grief intensifies with the inquiry, Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has His promise come to an end forever? (v. 8). Doubt threatens to overshadow the psalmist’s memory of God’s earlier acts of deliverance. Likewise, his troubled heart wonders, Has God forgotten to be gracious, or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? (v. 9). Here, the sentiment of divine silence creates inner turmoil. Yet throughout Scripture, God consistently assures His people that His covenant love does not change, pointing forward to Christ’s assurance that He will be with His followers always (Matthew 28:20).
Finally, the psalmist reflects, Then I said, It is my grief, that the right hand of the Most High has changed. (v. 10). In his sorrow, he perceives that God’s strong hand — expertly associated with deliverance — appears altered or absent. By naming his struggle as grief, he acknowledges both his pain and the possibility of restoring hope. In many similar passages, God’s pattern of rescue ultimately prevails, reminding readers that lament can transform into renewed trust when the Lord’s faithfulness is remembered (Hebrews 13:8).
