Verse 9 is found in chapter 77 of Psalms. Psalm 77 begins with an anguished prayer in which the psalmist seeks God without finding immediate relief. Memory of ancient times then becomes an instrument for reinterpreting the crisis. By remembering the exodus, the waters, the storm, and God’s guidance of Israel, the psalmist regains certainty that the apparently hidden God remains the God who guides his people.
