Psalms77:13
13 Thy way , O God, is in the sanctuary : who is so great a God as our God ?
(i. e.) Thy doings, or the Course of thy Providence, which is oft called God's way, the various Methods and Causes of thy dealings with thy People.
Is there contained and declared. As the Prosperity of wicked men, so also the grievous Calamities of God's People, are great Riddles and slumbling 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, by this same Asaph, Psal. 73. 16, 17. and here in the latter. Or, is in Holiness. So the Sence is, God is holy and just, and true in all his Works; yea, even in his Judgments upon his own People, as will Evidently appear from the issue of them.
And although our God at present suspends his Power, and doth not put it forth to deliver his People, out of the hands of their Idolatrous Enemies, who thence take occasion to Blaspheme his Name, and to exalt their Idol-God's above him, yet he is still infinitely Superior in Power, both to them and to their Gods, and can, and will in his due time, rescue his People from them.
