Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
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
Thou art the God that doest wonders. Thou alone art Almighty. The false gods are surrounded with the pretence of wonders, but you really work them. It is thy peculiar prerogative to work marvels; it is no new or strange thing with thee, it is according to thy wont and use. Herein is renewed reason for holy confidence.
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.
