Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 76:1

PSALM 76THE WRATH OF MAN PRAISING GOD;GOD'S CHAMPIONSHIP OF HIS PEOPLE;A PROPHETIC GLIMPSE OF THE JUDGMENT DAY;THE CELEBRATION OF A GREAT MILITARY VICTORYAny of the above titles is appropriate for this remarkable psalm. Many scholars view the occasion of it as that of God's destruction of Sennacherib's army in the times of Hezekiah, an interpretation with which this writer fully agrees, although some are hesitant to accept this, supposing that some other great victory could have inspired the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 76:4

"Glorious art thou, and excellent, more than mountains of prey.The stouthearted are made a spoil, They have slept their sleep;And none of the men of might have found their hands.At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,Both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.""More than mountains of prey" (Psalms 76:4). There is some uncertainty of the meaning here. Delitzsch explained it as, "An appellation for haughty possessors of worldly power."[11]"They have slept their sleep ... and none ... have found... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 76:7

"Thou, even thou, art to be feared;And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven;The earth feared, and was still,When God arose to judgment,To save all the meek of the earth.(Selah)"In these three verses we have, "An announcement of the eschatalogical defeat of the nations at the last judgment."[17]"Who may stand in thy sight?" (Psalms 76:7). This strongly reminds us of Rev. (Revelation 6:12-17), "Which is a most powerful exposition of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 76:10

"Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:The residue of wrath shalt thou gird upon thee.Vow, and pay unto Jehovah your God:Let all that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.He will cut off the spirit of princes:He is terrible to the kings of the earth."Here again we have echoes of that judgment scene in Revelation 6:12-17, where the kings of the earth are seen crying for the rocks and the mountains to fall upon them and hide them from The Lamb and from Him that... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 76:1

Psalms 76:0. A declaration of God's majesty in the church. An exhortation to serve him reverently. To the chief musician on Neginoth, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. Title. ידותון על למנצח lamnatseach al ieduthun.] If we give credit to the Septuagint version, this psalm was composed upon the same occasion as the former. Dr. Delaney thinks it was written upon another occasion; but he assigns no reason. I think it evident to a demonstration, says he, that the 76th psalm was written upon David's victory... read more

Psalms 76:3. There brake he the arrows, &c.— The fiery arrows of the bow, &c. That is, there, before the walls of Jerusalem, he overthrew the enemy, and destroyed all their military preparations. See 2 Kings 19:32. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 76:4

Psalms 76:4. Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey— The meaning of this verse is, that Jehovah, who sendeth help to his people from Mount Sion, is superior to the gods of the mountains, under whose protection the despoilers of the earth make their depredations. From the powerful assistance which Jehovah afforded his people from Mount Sion, the Assyrians called him, the God of the hills, and not of the vallies: see 1 Kings 20:23. Green. Houbigant renders it, thou art... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 76:10

Psalms 76:10. Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee, &c.— This alludes to the insolent menaces of the Assyrians, and their disgraceful defeat. It seems probable from the two foregoing verses, that mighty thunderings preceded the destruction of the Assyrians; When God arose to judgment, i.e. sent forth his anger to destroy them. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 76:12

Psalms 76:12. He shall cut off, &c.— Him that cutteth off, or bringeth down, &c. The spirit signifies the pride and elation of the mind; such as was that of the king of Assyria, before he was forced to return with shame of face to his own land. REFLECTIONS.—The church of God is often made to sing her triumphant songs, even here below. 1. God is here represented as eminently appearing for her. In Judah is God known; there he had made the most glorious revelation of himself, and of his... read more
