Psalms 77:3. I remembered God, and was troubled:
God is the fountain of all comfort, yet there are times when even a godly man can find no comfort in God. Asaph perhaps remembered the dark side of God’s attributes. Justice seemed to stand over him with a drawn sword.
Holiness frowned upon him. Power threatened to crush him. Truth stood up to condemn him. He could not find any comfort, even in his God.
Psalms 77:3. I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
He was covered right up, like a ship that has gone down in deep water: "I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed Selah." Whenever you see this word, "Selah," it means lift up the notes; tune up the strings of the harp; get the mind and heart ready for something in a rather different strain.
