Commentary on Psalms 76:10

Theological / Devotional

Shall praise thee. The wickedness of man gives occasion for great deeds on God’s part. Man’s hostility to God gives opportunity for the display of God’s power that brings praise to Him (see Ex. 9:16; 18:11).

Restrain. Literally, “thou wilt gird.” The parallelism of the two clauses in the verse indicates that God puts on, as an ornament, the last powerless efforts of feeble man to assert his own strength, clothing Himself thus to His own glory. The experience of Daniel is a notable example of the operation of this principle.
