Psa 76:7 | MHM | STEP | The Defence and Glory of Israel This section explains what God’s great victory means for everyone. The psalmist shows that God’s power brings fear to his enemies, comfort to his people, and calls everyone to honor and obey him. God’s actions prove that he is the true King, and all should respect and worship him. v. 7-9 : The psalmist says that God is to be feared. He asks, “Who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?” (Psalm 76:7 ). God’s anger is powerful, and no one can resist it. When God judges from heaven to save the meek, the whole earth becomes silent and afraid, waiting to see what God will do (Psalm 76:8-9 ). God’s people are called “the meek of the earth” (Zechariah 2:3; Psalm 35:20 ). Even though they are gentle and sometimes suffer, God will defend them and judge those who hurt them. When God acts, everyone must be still and recognize his authority: “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10; Zechariah 2:13 ).

The Defence and Glory of Israel

This section explains what God’s great victory means for everyone. The psalmist shows that God’s power brings fear to his enemies, comfort to his people, and calls everyone to honor and obey him. God’s actions prove that he is the true King, and all should respect and worship him.

v. 7-9: The psalmist says that God is to be feared. He asks, “Who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?”(Psalm 76:7 ^a). God’s anger is powerful, and no one can resist it. When God judges from heaven to save the meek, the whole earth becomes silent and afraid, waiting to see what God will do (Psalm 76:8-9 ^b). God’s people are called “the meek of the earth” (Zechariah 2:3; Psalm 35:20 ^c). Even though they are gentle and sometimes suffer, God will defend them and judge those who hurt them. When God acts, everyone must be still and recognize his authority: “Be still, and know that I am God”(Psalm 46:10; Zechariah 2:13 ^d).
