Psalms 77:6

I said, “During the night I will remember the song I once sang; I will think very carefully.” I tried to make sense of what was happening. ¹ 

Job 10:2; Job 35:10; Ps 4:4; Ps 42:8; Ps 139:23,24; Ec 1:16; La 3:40; Jon 1:2; Hab 3:17,18; Ac 16:25; 1Co 11:28-32

¹ tn Heb “I will remember my song in the night, with my heart I will reflect. And my spirit searched.” As in v. 4, the words of v. 6a are understood as what the psalmist said earlier. Consequently the words “I said” are supplied in the translation for clarification (see v. 10). The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive at the beginning of the final line is taken as sequential to the perfect “I thought” in v. 6.
