Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 78:65-72

The writer pictured God waking up, though He was always awake and aware of His people’s condition. He simply did not move to deliver them until David’s time. God rejected Joseph (i.e., the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh) and particularly Ephraim, the leader of the northern tribes, in the sense that He chose someone from Judah to lead Israel. He also chose Mt. Zion as the site of His sanctuary. David took it from the Jebusites. God’s provision of David, the shepherd king, was the writer’s... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 78:1-72

This long historical Ps. may be compared with Psalms 105, 106, and with Deuteronomy 32. It traces the course of God’s relations with His people from the exodus down to the time of David, and dwells on the repeated manifestations of Israel’s rebelliousness, on the chastisements by which they were visited, and on the patient mercy of God which continued to bless them in spite of all their sins. The Ps. does not follow a strict chronological order, but records first Israel’s ingratitude for God’s... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 78:1-72

Psalms 78:7 In its original application this verse is simply a statement of God's purpose in giving to Israel the Law, and such a history of deliverance. So, then, the words may permissibly bear the application which I purpose to make of them in this sermon, re-echoing only the thoughts which the season has already, I suppose, more or less, suggested to most of us. Though every day be a New Year's Day, still the alteration in our dates and our calendars should set us all thinking of that... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 78:1-72

Psalms 78:1-72THIS psalm is closely related to Psalms 105:1-45; Psalms 106:1-48; Psalms 107:1-43. Like them, it treats the history of Israel, and especially the Exodus and wilderness wanderings, for purposes of edification, rebuke, and encouragement. The past is held up as a mirror to the present generation. It has been one long succession of miracles of mercy met by equally continuous ingratitude, which has ever been punished by national calamities. The psalm departs singularly from... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 78:1-72

Psalm 78-83 Psalms 78:0 A Historical Retrospect 1. The call to hear (Psalms 78:1-8 ) 2. Ephraim’s failure (Psalms 78:9-11 ) 3. His dealings in power and mercy (Psalms 78:12-55 ) 4. The continued provocation (Psalms 78:56-64 ) 5. His sovereign grace in choosing David (Psalms 78:65-72 ) This historical retrospect needs no further comment. It is God speaking to the hearts of His people through their own history from Egypt to David. How graciously He dealt with them all the way! The... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 78:72

78:72 So {t} he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.(t) He shows where a kings charge stands: that is, to provide faithfully for his people, to guide them by counsel, and defend them by power. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 78:1-72

Psalms 67:0 The first half dozen of these psalms form a group millennial and Messianic. The first is millennial. It is Israel who speaks; the psalm cannot be appreciated unless the word “us” in Psalms 67:1 is so applied. When God has mercy upon and blesses Israel in the latter days, His way and His saving health unto all nations (Psalms 67:2 ) will begin to be known. In other words, the present age is one of out-gathering, but the age to come (millennial) will be one of in-gathering. God is now... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 78:1-72

Day and Night Leading Psa 78:14 Did some man imagine this? I thank him. Life is the sweeter for having such men among us. What a man it was that thought of this condescension and love on the part of the miracle-working God described in this most musical psalm! It was worth being born to imagine this conception of God. It is so tender, so fatherlike, so comforting; it is charged to the full with inspiration of the best kind; it makes all things feel securer; it brings to the soul contributions... read more
