Psalm 78
65 Then the Lord rose up as though waking from sleep, like a warrior aroused from a drunken stupor.

This is a fascinating psalm in that it does a historical timeline in a very graphic way. When God, a non-physical reality, is described in human attributes it is called anthropomorphicism. God is also described in natural terms like "Rock, ' or in military terms like "fortress" and "shield." "Hungover soldier" is rather unique military term...
"O God, you are my strength and shield; you are my hungover soldier. Alleluia!" Don't think it works.

Pray to God like he is able to accomplish whatever you need to be a blessing in the world.
