Psalms 77:13 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

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, and here in the latter. Or, בקדשׁ, bakkodesh, may be rendered, in holiness; and so the sense is, God is holy, and just, and true in all his works; yea, even in his judgments upon his people, and in the afflictions and troubles wherewith he chastises or tries individuals of them. Who is so great a God as our God So able to save or to destroy?

Psalms 77:13

13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
