“So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.”
The statement that the psalmist was senseless and ignorant like a brute articulates that in the state of doubt, the psalmist lacked understanding of God's purposes. The reference to being like an animal indicates loss of the capacity for spiritual comprehension. This verse indicates that the crisis had temporarily destroyed the psalmist's ability to perceive truth.
