What Does Psalms 77:11 Mean?
'I will remember the works of the LORD' shows the psalmist actively reclaiming memory as a spiritual discipline. The works of God are his deeds throughout history—creation, provision, deliverance, justice. To remember them is to call them to mind deliberately, not to retrieve them passively. This remembering becomes an act of faith, a choice to center on what God has done rather than what the psalmist currently lacks.
'surely I will remember thy wonders of old' emphasizes the certainty of this determination and the specific focus on wonders. Wonders are the miracles and extraordinary acts that reveal God's nature and power—events beyond ordinary causation. By deliberately recalling these wonders, the psalmist anchors his faith not in his feelings but in the testimony of God's past intervention.
