Psalm 77:13, Psalm 77:15 NLT

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 77:13

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary - Luther renders this, “O God, thy way is holy.” Prof. Alexander, “O God, in holiness is thy way.” DeWette, “O God, holy is thy way.” The word rendered “sanctuary” - קדשׁ qôdesh - means properly “holiness.” It is not the same word which in Psalms 73:17 is rendered “sanctuary” - מקדשׁ miqdâsh. The word here employed, however, may mean a holy place, a sanctuary, as the tabernacle Exodus 28:43; Exodus 29:30, or the temple 1 Kings 8:8; 2 Chronicles 29:7. In... read more

Psalms 77:13. Thy way, O God That is, thy doings, or, the course of thy providence; the various methods and causes of thy dealings with thy people; is in the sanctuary Is there contained and declared. As the prosperity of wicked men, so also the afflictions and troubles of God’s people, are great riddles and stumbling-blocks to the ignorant and ungodly world, but a full and satisfactory resolution of them may be had from God’s sanctuary, as is observed in the former case, Psalms 73:16-17,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 77:1-20

Psalms 77:0 Has God’s favour of old changed?Once again Asaph has a problem that is causing him much anxiety. (For his earlier problem see Psalms 73:0.) He cries to God in his distress but receives no answer (1-2). The more he thinks of God’s dealings with him, the more distressed he becomes. It seems that God not only refuses to comfort him, but even prevents him from sleeping (3-4). So as he lies awake on his bed, he thinks of God’s kindness to him in days gone by (5-6). God was gracious to... read more

13. Thy way . . . in the sanctuary—God's ways of grace and providence (Psalms 22:3; Psalms 67:2), ordered on holy principles, as developed in His worship; or implied in His perfections, if "holiness" be used for "sanctuary," as some prefer translating (compare Psalms 67:2- :). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 77:1-20

Psalms 77Asaph described himself as tossing and turning on his bed, unable to sleep, in this individual lament psalm. He found that meditating on God’s deliverance of His people in the Exodus brought him comfort. This led him to ask God to manifest His power for His people again. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 77:10-15

Psalms 77:10 means the psalmist felt his sorrow stemmed from God withdrawing His powerful right hand from his life. In other words, God was not answering his prayers and coming to his aid as He had done in the past.This remembrance led Asaph to concentrate on God’s great acts for His people in the past."The remembrance of the age-old acts of God is the basis for faith." [Note: VanGemeren, p. 502.] God’s way is holy (Psalms 77:13) in that it is different from the ways of men; it is perfectly... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 77:1-20

The Ps. records the writer’s experience of personal perplexity and darkness, which, however, has been caused by the contemplation of Israel’s national distress. It may be dated appropriately in the time of the exile. Psalms 77:1-3 describe the Psalmist’s trouble, in which even prayer has brought no comfort. Psalms 77:4-9 speak of his meditations on the brighter past, which lead to the question whether God has finally rejected His people. In Psalms 77:10-20 he turns for comfort to the story of... read more
