About this chapterA victory song celebrating God as known in Judah, with his dwelling in Salem, that is, Jerusalem, on Zion. There he broke the weapons of war, and strong soldiers lay helpless, stunned by his rebuke. No one can stand before his anger. When God rose to judge, the earth grew silent in fear and the humble were saved. The people are urged to make vows and keep them, and the surrounding nations to bring gifts, for God humbles rulers. Many link it to Jerusalem's rescue from Assyria.

Psalms 76

Berean Standard Bible12 verses · 1 min read

1God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel. 2His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion. 3There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.Selah 4You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game. 5The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand. 6At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned. 7You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You? 8From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still 9when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.Selah 10Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself. 11Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared. 12He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.
