Summary

Psalm 76:1–3 – God known by victory What happens: God is known in Judah, His name great in Israel, and His dwelling in Zion. He breaks the flashing arrows and the weapons of war. What it means: God reveals Himself through real deliverance. His holiness brings peace by ending violence.

Psalm 76:4–10 – Terrible and saving Judge What happens: God is radiant and more majestic than mountains of prey; the stouthearted are plundered. From heaven He issues judgment, and the earth fears and is still. What it means: God’s justice humbles the proud. Even human wrath ends up praising Him when He restrains it.

Psalm 76:11–12 – Vow and pay What happens: All are called to make vows and fulfill them, for God cuts off the spirit of princes. He is to be feared by the kings of the earth. What it means: Right response to rescue is obedient worship. God rules over rulers and deserves reverent promises kept.

Application

  • Remember and retell God’s concrete interventions.
  • Fear God more than human power.
  • Keep the vows you made in deliverance.

Bible

1To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

2In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

3There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.

4Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

5The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the 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 judgment 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 remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.

11Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.

12He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
