Commentary on Psalms 76:7

Theological / Devotional

Thou, even thou. Emphatic repetition. Verses 7–9 describe the destruction of the enemy as an act of judgment that teaches a lesson to all the world.

Art to be feared. Or, “art to be reverenced,” because His power has overthrown the enemy.

When once. Better, “from the time.” If such invading armies have been overcome by God’s sudden display of power, who could possibly resist God with any hope of success?
