Context of Psalms 76:5

3There broke he the flashings of the bow, shield and sword and battle. Selah. 4More glorious art thou, more excellent, than the mountains of prey. The stout-hearted are made a spoil, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands. 6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. 7Thou, thou art to be feared, and who can stand before thee when once thou art angry?
