Verses 1-20

Psalms 77:0

Introduction - Psalms 77-80 are from Asaph and are traditionally called the Shepherd Psalms because they describe God as a Shepherd and His people as sheep.

Characteristics - One of the structural features of Hebrew poetry is called intensification. (Other features are parallelism, chiasmus, acrostic and inclusio). There is a clear presence of intensification within Psalms 77:0, in which the author declares his conflict (Psalms 77:1), intensifies this theme with rising action that reaches a climax (Psalms 77:2-9), then resolves the conflict by remembering the Lord’s delivering power to reaffirm his faith in God (Psalms 77:10-15), with particular focus upon the great event of God delivering the children of Israel through the Red Sea (Psalms 77:16-20).
