Psalms 77:11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.Ver. 11. I will remember the works, &c.] Remember, and commemorate, as the Hebrew (by a double reading) importeth. I will remember thy wonders] God is wonderful in counsel and excellent in working, Isaiah 28:29, and as we behold the sun in the waters, so God in his works.

Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 77:11

(11) I will remember.—The written text is, “I will celebrate.” The intention is the same in both cases. Instead of continuing to despair, the poet resolves on seeking encouragement for his faith in grateful praise of God for past mercies, and especially for the ancient deliverance from Egypt, which occupies the prominent place in his thoughts; “works” and “wonders” should be in the singular, referring to this one mighty deliverance.
