Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
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 leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. What a transition from tempest to peace, from wrath to love. Quietly as a flock Israel was guided on, by human agency which veiled the excessive glory of the divine presence. The smiter of Egypt was the shepherd of Israel. He drove his foes before him, but went before his people.
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.
