A Psalm of Asaph. A lament followed by praise to God for past deliverance and hope for help in present distress.
v.1-2 Cry to God for help.
v.3-10 The psalmists complaint (doubt). Has his (God’s) steadfast love forever ceased?
v.11-12 The deeds of the Lord.
12 I will ponder all your work,
and meditate on your mighty deeds.
v.13-20 Praise to God for past deliverance. (Ex 14:21-22)
13 Your way, O God, is holy.
What god is great like our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders;
you have made known your might among the peoples.
15 You with your arm redeemed your people,
the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
We can find encouragement in times of depression by meditating on the past miraculous actions of God on behalf of his people.
