SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: In Psalm 76, the Psalmist recounts the glories and the powers of God, the divine warrior.
     The Psalmist begins his Psalm by stating that God's fame is great among his people because it was among his people that he destroyed all the implements of war and defeated their enemy. This may refer to the defeat of Sennacherib in the time of Hezekiah (1-3).
     The Psalmist then gives details about the glories and the accomplishments of God. He spoiled and destroyed the stouthearted; none of them could lift a hand against him. At the rebuke of God, chariots and horses were cast into a dead sleep. God alone is to be feared because no one can stand against him when he is angry. He sent judgment form heaven; the earth feared and became quiet when God arose to save the meek (4-9).
     Surely the wrath of man praises God; and the rest of wrath God restrains. So the Psalmist advises us to make vows to God, to keep them, and to bring presents to him who ought to be feared, because God shall cut off the spirit of princes; and he is terrifying to the kings of the earth (10-12).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

11 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, [Transposed To Psalm 75 ] *


A Psalm or Song of Asaph.

In Judah is God known:
his name is great in Israel.
2 In Salem also is his tabernacle,
and his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There brake he
the arrows of the bow,
the shield,
and the sword,
and the battle.
Selah.


4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
5 The stouthearted [mighty of heart] are spoiled,
they have slept their sleep:
and none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 At thy rebuke,
O God of Jacob,
both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
7 Thou, even thou,
art to be feared:
and who may stand in thy sight
when once thou art angry?
8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven;
the earth feared,
and was still,
9 When God arose to judgment,
to save all the meek of the earth.
Selah.


10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee:
the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
11 Vow,
and pay
unto the LORD your God:
let all that be round about him
bring presents
unto him that ought to be feared.
12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes:
he is terrible to the kings of the earth.


1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, [Transposed From Psalm 77:1 ] *



* NOTE: On Opening and Closing Comments in the Psalms.
[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms.
Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth").
It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments").
I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
