Definitions for Psalms 77:1
Clarke's Psalms 77:1 Bible Commentary
I cried unto God - The repetition here marks the earnestness of the psalmist's soul; and the word voice shows that the Psalm was not the issue of private meditation, but of deep mental trouble, which forced him to speak his griefs aloud.
Barnes's Psalms 77:1 Bible Commentary
I cried unto God with my voice - That is, he cried or prayed audibly. It was not mere mental prayer. See the notes at Psalm 3:4.
Even unto God with my voice - The repetition here is emphatic. The idea is that it was an earnest or fervent cry. Compare the notes at 2 Corinthians 12:8.
And he gave ear unto me - See Psalm 5:1, note; Psalm 17:6, note.
