Contextual Overview

⁴⁰ How oft dyd they prouoke hym in the wildernes: & greeued hym in the desert? ⁴¹ They turned backe and tempted the Lorde: and prescribed boundes to the most holy [God] of Israel. ⁴² They thought not of his hande: in the day when he redeemed them from the enemie. ⁴³ Howe he had wrought his miracles in Egypt: and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan. ⁴⁴ For he turned into blood their riuers & fluddes: so that they might not drinke. ⁴⁵ He sent amongst them all kind of flyes who dyd eate them: and frogges who destroyed them. ⁴⁶ He gaue their fruites vnto the caterpiller: & their labour to the grashopper. ⁴⁷ He destroyed their vines with hayle stones: and their wilde figge trees with the harde frost. ⁴⁸ He smote their cattell also with haylestones: and their flockes with thunder boltes. ⁴⁹ He cast vpon them the rage of his furie, anger, disdayne, and trouble: by sending foorth euill angels amongst them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep,.... He seemed to be asleep, while he suffered the ark to be taken, and the Israelites to be slain; and he may be said to awake when he exerted his power in smiting the Philistines, and causing their idol to fall before his ark; see Psalms 7:6,

and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine; who having taken a free draught of generous wine, not to excess, goes forth with great courage and cheerfulness to meet his adversary, shouting as he goes, being sure of victory; which must be applied to God with decency, consistent with the glory of his majesty, and the perfections of his nature; and seems designed to express his power and readiness to help his people, and avenge himself on his enemies; see Isaiah 42:13.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep - literally, as one sleeping; that is, as one who is asleep suddenly arouses himself. The Lord seemed to have slept, or to have been inattentive to what was occurring. Suddenly he aroused himself to inflict vengeance on the enemies of his people. Compare Psalms 7:6, note; Psalms 44:23, note.

And like a mighty man - The allusion is probably to a warrior.

That shouteth by reason of wine - The proper idea here is that of singing, or lifting up the voice in exultation and rejoicing; the idea of a man who sings and shouts as he is excited by wine, and as he presses onward to conflict and to victory. It is not uncommon in the Scriptures to compare God, as he goes forth to accomplish his purposes on his enemies, with a warrior. See Exodus 15:3; Psalms 24:8.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 78:65. Then the Lord awaked — He seemed as if he had totally disregarded what was done to his people, and the reproach that seemed to fall on himself and his worship by the capture of the ark.

Like a mighty man — כגבור kegibbor, like a hero that shouteth by reason of wine. One who, going forth to meet his enemy, having taken a sufficiency of wine to refresh himself, and become a proper stimulus to his animal spirits, shouts-gives the war-signal for the onset; impatient to meet the foe, and sure of victory. The idea is not taken from the case of a drunken man. A person in such a state would be very unfit to meet his enemy, and could have little prospect of conquest.
