Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 76:1-12

Psalms 76:0 Divine Government Established and Maintained 1. The Prince of Peace reigns (Psalms 76:1-6 ) 2. The day of wrath and what it brought (Psalms 76:7-12 ) We behold the Lord now in Judah, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, His Name great in Israel! In Salem He has His tabernacle and in Zion His dwelling place. There, as the Prince of Peace, He broke the arrows, the shield, and sword and battle. The stouthearted were spoiled. Judgments were heard from heaven; the earth feared and was... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:1-12

Psalms 67:0 The first half dozen of these psalms form a group millennial and Messianic. The first is millennial. It is Israel who speaks; the psalm cannot be appreciated unless the word “us” in Psalms 67:1 is so applied. When God has mercy upon and blesses Israel in the latter days, His way and His saving health unto all nations (Psalms 67:2 ) will begin to be known. In other words, the present age is one of out-gathering, but the age to come (millennial) will be one of in-gathering. God is now... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 76:1-2

The prophet, in the name of the church, is here triumphing in the consciousness of the divine presence. Well indeed might Israel say, He hath not dealt so by any nation; Psalms 147:20 . Distinguishing mercies are the sweetest of all mercies. The sun that enlightens, and warms, and makes fruitful the earth; and the rain, and the dew, and the air; these are all blessings; but they are not distinguishing, for they visit all the world. But God's statutes and ordinances are peculiar to his Israel.... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 76:1-6

1-6 Happy people are those who have their land filled with the knowledge of God! happy persons that have their hearts filled with that knowledge! It is the glory and happiness of a people to have God among them by his ordinances. Wherein the enemies of the church deal proudly, it will appear that God is above them. See the power of God's rebukes. With pleasure may Christians apply this to the advantages bestowed by the Redeemer. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 76:1-12

God the Protector of His Church.

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 76:1-12

“The Wrath of Man Shall Praise Thee” Psalms 76:1-12 In Psalms 76:2 , tabernacle may be rendered “covert,” and dwelling-place , “lair.” God is compared to the lion, that dreaded monarch of beasts, who finds his home in a den, into which no inferior animal may intrude. Even the hunter’s bows and arrows are broken in pursuit of him. As the mountains yielded prey to the young lion, so the hills around Jerusalem, where Sennacherib had pitched his camp, would be full of Assyrian spoil for the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 76:1-12

The singer celebrates a great victory, recognizing it as the work of God. The song has three movements. In the first, God is seen as the defense of the people (verses Psa 76:1-3 ). In the second, His victory over their enemies is declared (verses Psa 76:4-9 ). In the third, the truth is summarized, and appeal is made to His people and the surrounding nations to change their attitude toward Him (verses Psa 76:10-12 ). The national life gathers around Him. He is known by the nation; His... read more
