17 The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.
17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
17 The clouds poured out water; the skies gave forth thunder; your arrows flashed on every side.
17 Clouds belched buckets of rain, Sky exploded with thunder, your arrows flashing this way and that.
17 The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound; Your arrows also flashed about.
17 The clouds poured down rain; the thunder rumbled in the sky. Your arrows of lightning flashed.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 77:17
Commentary on Psalm 77:11-20
(Read Psalm 77:11-20)
The remembrance of the works of God, will be a powerful remedy against distrust of his promise and goodness; for he is God, and changes not. God's way is in the sanctuary. We are sure that God is holy in all his works. God's ways are like the deep waters, which cannot be fathomed; like the way of a ship, which cannot be tracked. God brought Israel out of Egypt. This was typical of the great redemption to be wrought out in the fulness of time, both by price and power. If we have harboured doubtful thoughts, we should, without delay, turn our minds to meditate on that God, who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, that with him, he might freely give us all things.
