Psalms 76
1[For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song]. In 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 deep 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.

Psalms 76:1-6 Verses 1-6
Happy people are those who have their land filled with the knowledge of God! happy persons that have their hearts filled with that knowledge! It is the glory and happiness of a people to have God among them by his ordinances. Wherein the enemies of the church deal proudly, it will appear that God is above them. See the power of God's rebukes. With pleasure may Christians apply this to the advantages bestowed by the Redeemer.
Psalms 76:7-12 Verses 7-12
God's people are the meek of the earth, the quiet in the land, that suffer wrong, but do none. The righteous God seems to keep silence long, yet, sooner or later, he will make judgment to be heard. We live in an angry, provoking world; we often feel much, and are apt to fear more, from the wrath of man. What will not turn to his praise, shall not be suffered to break out. He can set bounds to the wrath of man, as he does to the raging sea; hitherto it shall come, and no further. Let all submit to God. Our prayers and praises, and especially our hearts, are the presents we should bring to the Lord. His name is glorious, and he is the proper object of our fear. He shall cut off the spirit of princes; he shall slip it off easily, as we slip off a flower from the stalk, or a bunch of grapes from the vine; so the word signifies. He can dispirit the most daring: since there is no contending with God, it is our wisdom, as it is our duty, to submit to him. Let us seek his favour as our portion, and commit all our concerns to him.
