I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
The Holy Spirit dictated this psalm as a common prayer for the Church in her afflictions, not the private sorrow of one man, but the lamentations of God's chosen people. When we cry to Him, He hears; this is not mere complaint but the sure testimony of His readiness to answer those who call upon Him.

Commenting on Psalm 77:1-20
I will remember the works of the Lord. Fly back my soul, away from present turmoil, to the grandeurs of history, the sublime deeds of Jehovah, the Lord of Hosts; for he is the same and is ready even now to defend his servants as in days of yore. Surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
When I remember what God has wrought for His people of old, my faith revives. He is holy in all His works and changes not; if He begins a work, He will finish it. The remembrance of His wonders is a powerful antidote against distrust of His promise and goodness.
