The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 76:2

In Salem; i.e. Jerusalem. "Salem" was probably a shortened form of the full and complete name, like "Peer" for "Baalpeor," "Maachah" for "Aram-Maa-chah," "El Kuds" for "Beit-el-Kuds," and the like. (So Professor Cheyne.) "Salem" is the peaceful place, the place where God's presence breathed peace and tranquillity. It is only used here and in Genesis 14:11 . Is his tabernacle; literally, his tent (comp. Psalms 15:1 ; Psalms 27:5 , Psalms 27:6 ; Psalms 61:4 ). The temple is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 76:2

The localization of God. "In Salem also is his covert, and his dwelling place in Zion" (comp. Jeremiah 25:38 , "He hath forsaken his covert as the lion"). The poetical figure is the likening of God to a lion—the Lion of the tribe of Judah"—who leaves his covert in Salem, and his lair in Zion, to spoil the enemy. There is now evidence that the holy city was known as Salem long before the time of Joshua, but the special Divine association with it dates from the time when David brought back... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 76:3

There brake he the arrows of the bow . The expression "there" seems certainly to show that the deliverance celebrated took place at, or very near to, Jerusalem. This would sufficiently suit the destruction of Sennacherib's army, which certainly occurred in the neighbourhood, though not very close to the city (see 2 Kings 19:32 , 38). The word translated "arrows" ( רשׁפי ) means properly "lightnings" (comp. Psalms 78:48 ), and expresses the swift flight of the arrow, not actual "fiery... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 76:2

In Salem also - This was the ancient name for Jerusalem, and is evidently so used here. It continued to be given to the town until the time of David, when it was called “Jerusalem.” See the notes at Isaiah 1:1. The word properly means “peace,” and is so rendered here by the Septuagint, ἐν εἰρήνῃ ὁ τόπος αύτοῦ en eirēnē ho topos autou - “his place is in peace.” There may have been an allusion here to that ancient signification of the name, as being more poetical, and as suggesting the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 76:3

There brake he the arrows of the bow - That is, in Salem, or near Salem. The language is such as would be used in reference to invaders, or to armies that came up to storm the city. The occasion is unknown; but the meaning is, that God drove the invading army back, and showed his power in defending the city. The phrase “the arrows of the bow,” is literally, “the lightnings of the bow,” the word rendered “arrows” meaning properly “flame;” and then, “lightning.” The idea is, that the arrows sped... read more

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

Psalms 76:3. There brake he, &c. That is, in Judah, or at or near Jerusalem; the arrows of the bow Hebrew, רשׁפי קשׁת , rishpee kasheth, the sparks of the bow, the sparkling arrows, bright and shining, swift and piercing, like sparks of fire. Some render it, the fiery arrows of the bow, the shield and the sword Both offensive and defensive weapons, so that they could neither hurt God’s people nor save themselves from ruin; and the battle The force and fury of the battle, and all... 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
