Commentary on Psalms 78:65

Theological / Devotional

As one out of sleep. In this powerful figure the psalmist represents God as utterly indifferent to His people, and then rousing Himself to activity in their behalf. The use of this strange figure and of the figure of the strong man crying aloud on waking from a drunken stupor, seems alien to our modern Western thinking, but is in no way unnatural to the Oriental mind.
