Psalms 78:69. And he built his sanctuary The temple of Solomon. David, indeed, erected only a tent for the ark, but a temple was then designed, and preparations were made for building it. Like high palaces A very stately place, magnificent and glorious. It was built like the palaces of princes, and of the great men of the earth. Nay, it excelled them all in splendour and glory. Like the earth which he hath established for ever A very stable structure, not to be removed from place to... read more

Psalms 78:0 Lessons from historyBeing a true teacher, the psalmist is concerned for the spiritual condition of his people.

GOD'S ANSWER TO THE SITUATION"Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. And he smote his adversaries backward: He put them to a perpetual reproach. Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim, But chose the tribe of Judah, The mount Zion which he loved. And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he hath established forever. He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds:... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 78:69

Psalms 78:69. Like high palaces— Like the mountains, the high places. This version is made probable by the next words, like the earth: standing upon the top of Sion and making the summit of it, the sanctuary had the air of a mountain; and the firmness of one now, being fixed there; for before it had been ambulatory.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 78:1-72

Psalms 78This didactic psalm teaches present and future generations to learn from the past, and it stresses the grace of God. Didactic psalms offer wisdom to the reader. Some have called this a history psalm (cf. Psalms 105, 106, 114, 135, , 136). [Note: Wiersbe, The . . . Wisdom . . ., p. 230.] "This could be sub-titled, in view of Psalms 78:12; Psalms 78:68, From Zoan to Zion, for it reviews the turbulent adolescence of Israel from its time of slavery in Egypt to the reign of David.
