Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 78:65

"Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine." — Psalms 78:65 (ASV)

That shouteth ... — For the boldness of the image which likens God to a giant warrior exhilarated with wine, we can compare this with the picture in Psalms 60:0 (See Notes.)
