Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 76:1-6

The church is here triumphant even in the midst of its militant state. The psalmist, in the church's name, triumphs here in God, the centre of all our triumphs. I. In the revelation God had made of himself to them, Ps. 76:1. It is the honour and privilege of Judah and Israel that among them God is known, and where he is known his name will be great. God is known as he is pleased to make himself known; and those are happy to whom he discovers himself?happy people that have their land filled... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:3

There brake he the arrows of the bow .... The Targum is, "there brake he the arrows and the bows of the people that make war;' the word רשפי , translated "arrows", signifies "sparks or coals of fire"; see Job 5:7 and is used of arrows, because they fly swiftly, as sparks do, or because of their brightness, or because fiery; so we read of "the fiery darts of Satan", Ephesians 6:16 , and perhaps they may be meant here: when Christ our Lord suffered near Jerusalem, he spoiled... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:4

Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. Which is to be understood not of Zion, as some interpret it; though it is true that the mountain of Zion, or the church of Christ, his kingdom and interest, shall in the latter day be more glorious and excellent than all other mountains, kingdoms, and interests; see Isaiah 2:2 , but of God or Christ before spoken of; and so the Targum, "bright, to be feared, art thou, O God, to be praised from the house of thy sanctuary.' ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:5

The stout hearted are spoiled ,.... The Assyrian army, its officers and generals, that came up against Jerusalem, with great resolution and courage, and with daring impiety and blasphemy against the God of heaven, as Rabshakeh and others; these were spoiled, and their armour and riches became a prey to those they thought to have made a prey of. So principalities and powers were spoiled by Christ upon the cross, and Satan, the strong man armed, has in the conversion of a sinner his armour... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:6

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob ,.... The God of Jacob personally, and of his posterity, the children of Israel, and of the church, often so called who rebukes his people in love, but his enemies with furious rebukes, with rebukes in flames of fire; with such he rebukes the Heathen, destroys the wicked, and puts out their name for ever: both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep ; that is, the riders in chariots and on horses; such there were doubtless in the Assyrian army, it... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 76:3

There brake he the arrows of the bow - רשפי rishphey , the fiery arrows. Arrows, round the heads of which inflammable matter was rolled, and then ignited, were used by the ancients, and shot into towns to set them on fire; and were discharged among the towers and wooden works of besiegers. The Romans called them phalaricae; and we find them mentioned by Virgil, Aen. lib. ix., ver. 705: - Sed magnum stridens contorta phalarica venit, Fulminis acta modo read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 76:4

Than the mountains of prey - This is an address to Mount Zion. Thou art more illustrious and excellent than all the mountains of prey, i.e., where wild beasts wander, and prey on those that are more helpless than themselves. Zion was the place where God dwelt; the other mountains were the abode of wild beasts. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 76:5

The stout-hearted are spoiled - The boasting blasphemers, such as Rab-shakeh, and his master Sennacherib, the king of Assyria. They have slept their sleep - They were asleep in their tent when the destroying angel, the suffocating wind, destroyed the whole; they over whom it passed never more awoke. None of the men of might - Is not this a strong irony? Where are your mighty men? their boasted armor, etc.? read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 76:6

At thy rebuke - It was not by any human means that this immense army was overthrown; it was by the power of God alone. Not only infantry was destroyed, but the cavalry also. The chariot and horse - That is, the chariot horses, as well as the men, were Cast into a dead sleep - Were all suffocated in the same night. On the destruction of this mighty host, the reader is requested to refer to the notes on 2 Kings 19. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 76:3

Verse 3 3.There he broke the arrows of the bow. We have here stated the particular way in which God was known in Judah. He was known by the wonderful proofs of his power, which he exhibited in preserving the city. Under these figures is described the destruction of the enemies of the chosen people. (268) They could not otherwise have been overthrown than by being despoiled of their armor and weapons of war. It is therefore said, that the arrows, the swords, and the shields, were broken, yea,... read more
