Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 76:1-2

Psalms 76:1-2. In Judah is God known God’s people do not worship an unknown God, as the Athenians did, Acts 17:23, but one who hath made himself known, not only by his word and ordinances, but also by the glorious effects of his wisdom and power, exerted on their behalf, and against their potent and malicious enemies. His name is great in Israel That is, famous and renowned, and greatly to be praised and admired. In Salem is his tabernacle In Jerusalem, which was anciently called ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:1-12

Psalms 75-76 Exalting God, not selfIn a psalm designed for use in public worship, the congregation begins by thanking God for all his mighty deeds (75:1). A singer representing God replies that even when conditions in the world look hopeless, God is still in control. He will intervene when he sees fit (2-3). Therefore, the wicked should not be proud or stubborn like an ox that struggles against its master (4-5). The only exaltation that matters is that which comes from God. The opinions of... read more

Salem. The ancient Jebusite name for Jerusalem. Compare Genesis 14:18 . Hebrews 7:1 , Hebrews 7:2 . is = is come; or is setup. tabernacle: i.e. David's tabernacle on Zion. in Psalms 18:11 = pavilion, or dwelling. Hebrew. sukkah, not 'ohel. Zion.

Zion had no place in history till this event. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 76:1-3

1. The manifestation of God’s judgment 76:1-3God made His great name known in Israel by defeating an enemy of His people. Salem is Jerusalem (Genesis 14:18; Hebrews 7:1-2). Evidently Asaph composed this song after an enemy attacked Jerusalem unsuccessfully. Perhaps the miraculous defeat of the Assyrians in 701 B.C. is the background (2 Kings 18-19; Isaiah 36-37). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 76:1-12

Psalms 76In this psalm of declarative praise, Asaph praised God for His power. He had destroyed the wicked and delivered the godly. Therefore the leaders of His people should follow Him faithfully. The psalm is in the form of a victory hymn, though it may not refer to one particular victory in Israel’s history. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 76:1-12

Like the previous Ps. this is a song of national deliverance, which may have been called forth, as the title in LXX suggests, by the overthrow of Sennacherib’s army (2 Kings 19:35; 2 Chronicles 32:21; Isaiah 37:36). In Psalms 76:1-6 God is described as returning to His dwelling-place in Zion from the mountains where He has overthrown His adversaries. In Psalms 76:7-9 another figure is introduced which represents God as uttering sentence from heaven upon His enemies, while the earth is hushed in... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 76:2

(2) Salem.—The LXX. and Vulgate translate “his place was in peace,” and possibly the poet may use the word Salem with the thought in his mind of the peace won by God for Judah, or, again, it may be only a poet’s preference for an ancient over a modern name; but the identification of the Salem of Genesis 14:18 with Jerusalem is too doubtful to allow much weight to this view. (See the whole question discussed in Sir G. Grove’s article on “Salem,” in Smith’s Bibl. Dict.)Tabernacle . . .... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 76:1-12

Psalms 76:1 We call the Jews a people. What does this mean? It generally means a number of persons bound together by three things: by having one blood, one language, one land. Other bonds may usually come in, such as one set of customs, one law, one government, one religion. But the three I have mentioned are the most constant. I. First one blood. The Jews mixed wonderfully little with other people till quite late in history, and the family feeling was part of their religion. One of the names... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:1-12

Psalms 76:1-12IN contents and tone this psalm is connected with Psalms 46:1-11; Psalms 48:1-14. No known event corresponds so closely with its allusions as the destruction of Sennacherib’s army, to which the LXX in its superscription refers it. The singer is absorbed in the one tremendous judgment which had delivered the dwelling place of Jehovah. His song has but one theme-God’s forth flashing of judgment on Zion’s foes. One note of thankfulness sounds at the close, but till then all is awe.... read more
