Psalm 76:1-12 KJV

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

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 76:1

In Judah is God known ,.... God is to be known, and is made known, by his works of creation, and by his providences, and particularly by his judgments in the whole world, even among the Gentiles; and he was made known by his word and ordinances, his statutes and his judgments, among the Jews, to whom these were specially given; and he is made known by his Spirit, and in his Son in a spiritual and saving manner to such who are Jews inwardly, or the true circumcision: moreover this may be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:2

In Salem also is his tabernacle ,.... That is, in Jerusalem, as the Targum expresses it, where the tabernacle of Moses and the ark of the covenant were, and afterwards the temple of Solomon, which the Targum here calls the house of the sanctuary; and may be interpreted of the human nature of Christ, the true tabernacle which God pitched, and not man, in which the divine word when he was made flesh dwelt or tabernacled among the Jews at Jerusalem, and in other parts of Judea, Hebrews 8:2 .... 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

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:7

Thou, even thou, art to be feared ,.... By his own people with reverence and godly fear, because of his greatness and goodness; and to be dreaded by his enemies; which seems to be the sense here, as appears by what follows: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry ? or "from the moment thou art angry" F2 מאז אפך "ex quo irasceris", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; "a momento, vel tempore irae tuae", Michaelis. ; so the Targum, from the "time", and Jarchi, from... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:8

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven ,.... When an angel was sent down from heaven, and destroyed the Assyrian army, a judgment of God upon them; at which time some think there was a violent clap of thunder, which is the voice of God: and it may refer to the judgments which God has decreed to execute on the antichristian states, the seven vials of his wrath he will pour upon them; for all decrees, as Aben Ezra on the place observes, come from heaven; or to the last judgment,... read more
