Charles Ellicott Commentary
"I will cry unto God with my voice, Even unto God with my voice; and he will give ear unto me." — Psalms 77:1 (ASV)
I cried ... —Better, following the Hebrew literally,
“My voice to God—and let me cry;
My voice to God—and He hears me.”
The Authorised Version has followed the Septuagint and Vulgate in neglecting the striking changes in mood running through this psalm. Soliloquy and narrative alternate as the poet’s mood impels him—now to give vent to his feelings in sobs and cries, now to analyse and describe them.
