Psalms 76:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 76:1

The Majesty of God in Judgment

To the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song.

1 In ^aJudah God is known;
His name is great in Israel.

2 In¹ Salem also is His tabernacle,
And His dwelling place in Zion.

3 There He broke the arrows of the bow,
The shield and sword of battle. Selah

4 You are more glorious and excellent
^aThan the mountains of prey.

5 ^aThe stouthearted were plundered;
^bThey¹ have sunk into their sleep;
And none of the mighty men have found the use of their hands.

6 ^aAt Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both the chariot and horse were cast into a dead sleep.

7 You, Yourself, are to be feared;
And ^awho may stand in Your presence
When once You are angry?

8 ^aYou caused judgment to be heard from heaven;
^bThe earth feared and was still,

9 When God ^aarose to judgment,
To deliver all the oppressed of the earth. Selah

10 ^aSurely the wrath of man shall praise You;
With the remainder of wrath You shall gird Yourself.

11 ^aMake vows to the Lord your God, and pay them;
^bLet all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared.

12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes;
^aHe is awesome to the kings of the earth.
