Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 76:9

When God arose to judgement; when God, who for a season had sat still, began to bestir and show himself against his enemies. Or, after God had risen, &c. Or, because God did arise, &c. To save all the meek of the earth; to save all the godly persons (who are oft called meek ones, as hath been noted again and again) in Israel, for whose sakes God wrought this great deliverance, which reached to all the people of the land. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 76:10

The wrath of man shall praise thee; the blasphemous speeches and furious attempts of thine enemies shall serve thy glory, and cause thy people and others to praise and magnify thee for that admirable wisdom, and power, and faithfulness, and goodness which thou shalt discover upon that occasion. The remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain; thou shalt prevent and disappoint the succeeding malicious designs of thine enemies, who will meditate revenge for those shameful and terrible overthrows. Or,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 76:11

Vow a sacrifice of thanksgiving; either at this time, for this wonderful deliverance; or hereafter, in all your future straits and troubles. Let this experience encourage you to make such vows to God with confidence of success. But when God hath accepted your vows, and given you the desired deliverance, forget not to pay your vows. All that be round about him; either, 1. All the tribes of Israel, who have the benefit of this mercy. Or rather, 2. All the neighbouring nations on every side, to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 76:12

Cut off; as men do their grapes in time of vintage, as the Hebrew verb implies, to wit, suddenly, violently, and irresistibly. This is all which they shall get by opposing him, and therefore it is their wisdom to bring presents to him. The spirit of princes; either, 1 Their courage. Or rather, 2. Their breath and life, as he did in the Assyrian army. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 76:1-12

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“To the chief Musician on Neginoth.” See Introduction to Psalms 54:0.A Psalm—a Song of Asaph. (See notes on the authorship of Psalms 74:0) The superscription may be thus paraphrased—A Psalm, a Song of Asaph, to be delivered to the director of music, that he may arrange for its performance with the accompaniment of stringed instruments.Occasion.—There appear to us very good reasons for regarding the Psalm as a celebration of Israel’s victory over the Assyrians. The... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:10

Psalms 76:10 Through the long, sad history of the world, the glory of God has very much arisen from the display of His power in contest with human iniquity. He has an overruling wisdom and power, which can constrain the mighty evil that is in the world to render Him honour against its will, to act with an unconscious and undesigned subservience. The "wrath of man" very generally involves a corrupt principle: pride, arrogance, resentment, revenge. Can such a thing as this be made to praise the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:11

Psalms 76:11 (with Romans 1:14-15 ) The missionary plea one of justice. I. The Divine plea. Justice demands our labours and contributions to the missionary cause on behalf of God. Pay thy debts to Him. To think of compensating the Lord for what He has bestowed would be as absurd as it would be profane. But this we can do, for evincing that we are actuated by a sense of justice: we can endeavour to please Him. (1) He is pleased when He is praised, when men glorify His name. (2) After the... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Psalms 76:7

DISCOURSE: 629GOD GREATLY TO BE FEAREDPsalms 76:7. Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight, when once thou art angry?THERE is not only a generally prevailing notion that God is merciful, but the consideration of his mercy is with many a ground and reason for dismissing from their minds all fear of his displeasure. But it is not in this partial view that the Deity is represented in the Scriptures of truth: on the contrary, the whole sacred records bear witness to him as... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:1-12

Psalms 76:1-12 Psalms 76:1-12 :In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel ( Psalms 76:1 ).Judah, of course, was the southern kingdom. Israel was the northern kingdom.In Salem also is his tabernacle [that would be Jerusalem], and his dwelling place in mount Zion. And there brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. The stout-hearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the... read more
