Psalm 76:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 76:7-12

This glorious victory with which God had graced and blessed his church is here made to speak three things:? I. Terror to God's enemies (Ps. 76:7-9): ?Thou, even thou, art to be feared; thy majesty is to be reverenced, thy sovereignty to be submitted to, and thy justice to be dreaded by those that have offended thee.? Let all the world learn by this event to stand in awe of the great God. 1. Let all be afraid of his wrath against the daring impiety of sinners: Who may stand in thy sight from... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:10

Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee ,.... Either the wrath which comes from God, and has man for its object; and that either as it regards the people of God; so the Targum, "when thou art angry with thy people, thou hast mercy on them, and they shall confess unto thy name;' or praise thee; see Isaiah 12:1 , they are deserving of the wrath of God, but are not appointed to it, and are delivered from it by Christ, who bore it for them as their representative; by which as the justice... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 76:10

Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee - The rage of Sennacherib shall only serve to manifest thy glory. The stronger he is, and the more he threatens, and the weaker thy people, the more shall thy majesty and mercy appear in his destruction and their support. The remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain - The Hebrew gives rather a different sense: "Thou shalt gird thyself with the remainder of wrath." Even after thou hast sent this signal destruction upon Sennacherib and his army, thou... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 76:10

Verse 10 10.Surely the wrath of men shall praise thee. Some understand these words as denoting, that after these enemies shall have submitted to God, they will yield to him the praise of the victory; being constrained to acknowledge that they have been subdued by his mighty hand. Others elicit a more refined sense, That when God stirs up the wicked, and impels their fury, he in this way affords a most illustrious display of his own glory; even as he is said to have stirred up the heart of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 76:1-12

The triumphs of God. There can be little doubt that this psalm is one of several others whose main theme is God's deliverance of his people from Sennacherib, King of Assyria. Then, in Judah, God was known, and his Name was great in Israel. But we may fitly use the psalm as telling of those great and blessed spiritual deliverances which the soul of God's servants have often known and rejoiced in—these triumphs of God over a deadlier foe than ever any Assyrian king could be to Israel.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 76:1-12

A psalm of triumph. This is one of several psalms supposed to have been written in celebration of the sudden overthrow of Sennacherib's army in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem, and suggests the following truths— I. THAT THE CHURCH IS GOD 'S PECULIAR ABODE , WHERE THE MOST GLORIOUS REVELATIONS OF HIS POWER AND GRACE ARE SEEN . ( Psalms 76:3 .) The gospel is most emphatically the "power of God unto salvation." II. THAT GOD 'S GREATEST ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 76:10

Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee. The sentiment is general, but no doubt there is a special reference to the recent deliverance. The "wrath of man," i.e. man's wicked fury and hostility of God and his people, shall give occasion for great deeds on God's part—deeds which will bring him praise and honour. The remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain . Either, "the unexpended fury of thine enemies, that which they have not vented, thou wilt hold in check, and prevent from doing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 76:10

The will of man and the will of God. "The wrath of man shall praise thee." Two great streams of spiritual force meet our view, alike in the Bible and in human life and history, crossing one another every instant, as waves of light and waves of sound, in closest vital relation, yet each holding its course unhindered— the will of man and the will of God. When man was created, not in the image of lower creatures but "in the image of God," he was endowed with this glorious yet perilous... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 76:10

The wrath of man. By this is meant man's rage against God and against God's people. Of this it is affirmed that— I. IT PRAISES GOD . The Bible is full of illustrations of this. It is part of God's universal purpose of overruling all evil for good. See this in the history of the Fall—it became the occasion of redemption. The cross of our Lord Jesus Christ—it draws all men unto him. Persecution of the Church caused its world wide extension. The corruption of the Church led to the... read more
