Psalms 77:10

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge · Canne, Browne, Blayney, Scott, and others · Public Domain

This is: etc. Or, as Dr. Waterland renders, "This my affliction is a change of the right hand of the Most High," i.e., it proceeds from a change of God's conduct towards me. De Dieu renders, Precari, hoc meum est; mutare dextram Altissimì: "To pray, this is my business. To change the right hand of the Most High." I can do nothing else than pray: God is the Ruler of events.

Mr. N. M. Berlin translates, Dolere meum hoc est: mutare est dextre Altissimi:. "To grieve is my portion. To change (my condition) belongs to the right hand of the Most High." , , ; ; ;
