God's Sovereignty in Victory

1 {To the chief Musician on Neginoth, 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 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.

Commentary

The message of Psalm 76 has great relevance for us today. The psalm serves as a reminder that God is in control, even when it seems like evil is prevailing. It is crucial to recognize that we do not fight against our enemies alone, but God fights on our behalf. It is also important to note that this victory is not just for a select group of people, but it is available to all who turn to God in faith. Lastly, the psalmist's call for reverence and praise of God should inspire us to acknowledge His goodness and sovereignty in our lives.
