Psa 76:5-6 | MHM | STEP | v. 5-6 : The enemies of Israel were brave and strong, but they were defeated. The psalmist describes them: “The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep; none of the men of might have found their hands. At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep” (Psalm 76:5-6 ). These enemies were confident and powerful, trusting in their horses and chariots (Psalm 20:7 ), but God made them helpless. With just a word, God defeated them, just as he did with the destroying angel in Israel’s history. This shows how powerful God’s rebuke is and how quickly he can save his people. For Christians, all these blessings come through Jesus Christ. Through him, God is known. Through him, God’s name is honored in the church. Jesus defeated the powers of evil and made God’s victory clear for everyone to see.

The psalmist describes them: “The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep; none of the men of might have found their hands. At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep”(Psalm 76:5-6 ^a). These enemies were confident and powerful, trusting in their horses and chariots (Psalm 20:7 ^b), but God made them helpless. With just a word, God defeated them, just as he did with the destroying angel in Israel’s history. This shows how powerful God’s rebuke is and how quickly he can save his people.
