I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
Psalm 77 belongs to a group of psalms written during the Babylonian captivity, most likely in its latter part under Belshazzar when persecution and distress among the Jews were greatest. It expresses sorrow and affliction joined with encouragement, assurance of divine help, and hope of final deliverance from persecutors. It is a devotional and instructive psalm that presents God's mighty works as a comfort.
It belongs to the Psalms as inspired expressions of prayer and praise that can be read, studied, sung, and made one's own in devotion, and through such prayers people commune with God. It means that the psalmist cries aloud to God and God hears him, a meaning readily clear with a practical lesson to be taken to heart. In affliction it assures that God hears those who cry to him, so that earnest appeal and trust are met with his attention. This included a cry for help during a throat illness that made swallowing impossible, when God heard the prayer of faith and restored health.
