Psalms
Chapter 76
76
1In Judah is God known: His name is great in Israel.
2In Salem also is his tabernacle, And his dwelling-place in Zion.
3There he brake the arrows of the bow; The shield, and the sword, and the battle. [Selah
4Glorious art thou and excellent, From the mountains of prey.
5The stouthearted are made a spoil, They have slept their sleep; And none of the men of might have found their hands.
6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7Thou, even thou, art to be feared; And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; The earth feared, and was still,
9When God arose to judgment, To save all the meek of the earth. [Selah
10Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.
11Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God: Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
12He will cut off the spirit of princes: He is terrible to the kings of the earth.
What is Psalms 76 about?
God is known in Judah and His dwelling is in Salem, and there, Asaph sings, He broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword, and the battle. The stouthearted are spoiled and sleep their sleep; at His rebuke both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep, for He is more glorious than the mountains of prey. When God arose to judgment to save all the meek of the earth, even the wrath of man was made to praise Him. The song celebrates the LORD who defends His city and its worship, the fearful King before whom the rulers of the earth must bow and pay their vows.
Matthew Henry on Psalms 76
