Context of Psalms 76:5

3There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war. Selah 4You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game. The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand. 6At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned. 7You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?
