761 God is known in Judah ; His name is great in Israel . 2 His tabernacle is in Salem ; His dwelling place also is in Zion . 3 There He broke the flaming arrows , The shield and the sword and the weapons of war . Selah . 4 You are resplendent , More majestic than the mountains of prey . 5 The stouthearted e were plundered , They sank into sleep ; And none e of the warriors could use his hands . 6 At Your rebuke , O God of Jacob , Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep .
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 76:1-6
Commentary on Psalm 76:1-6
(Read Psalm 76:1-6)
Happy people are those who have their land filled with the knowledge of God! happy persons that have their hearts filled with that knowledge! It is the glory and happiness of a people to have God among them by his ordinances. Wherein the enemies of the church deal proudly, it will appear that God is above them. See the power of God's rebukes. With pleasure may Christians apply this to the advantages bestowed by the Redeemer.
