In My Distress
Psalm 77 is an extremely emotional lament psalm of Asaph. Asaph expresses very vividly his despair and the hopelessness of Israel. While the context of the psalm is not certain, most biblical scholars believe the context was during a time of some type of national crisis in Israel, possibly even during their exile. Remembrance isContinue reading “In My Distress”
